Remember the Night (1940)
Remember the Night is a 1940 romantic comedy that takes place during the Christmas season. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray.
The NYT says, "It is a memorable film, in title and in quality, blessed with an honest script, good direction and sound performance. Perhaps this is a bit too early in the season to be talking of the best pictures of 1940; it is not too early to say that Paramount's nomination is worth considering." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus rating of 100%.

...I know the stars, but the movie is new to me.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen it 'til this year.
DeleteBefore or after they starred in Double Indemnity
ReplyDeleteBefore. It was their first film together. Double Indemnity was '44.
Deletethis sounds good thanks will check it out-Happy Saturday
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it :) I like finding new-to-me holiday fare.
DeleteNever heard of it, and don't really know the actors, but it sounds like a decent Christmas film.
ReplyDeleteStanwyck is a treasure. MacMurray is better known from tv, I think, and is under-rated as a dramatic actor. They're perfect in this.
DeleteI'm sure those who like this sort of film will enjoy it! Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a highlight of its type and a wonderful Christmastime-related option.
