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%.

  4. Never heard of it, and don't really know the actors, but it sounds like a decent Christmas film.

    1. Stanwyck is a treasure. MacMurray is better known from tv, I think, and is under-rated as a dramatic actor. They're perfect in this.
