    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Preston Sturges hung around the set and became friends with Barbara Stanwyck. He promised to write a film just for her. That film turned out to be Un coeur pris au piège (1941).
    • Goofs
      The street sign on the corner of the shop where Lee tries to pawn the stolen bracelet reads "3rd Avenue" and "West 54th Street" in NYC. With 3rd Avenue being east of Fifth Avenue, which divides east from west Manhattan, the street sign should read "East 54th Street."
    • Quotes

      Aunt Emma: [after commenting about love, even though she was never married] You don't have to be a horse to judge a horse show.

    You don't have to be a horse to judge a horse show.
    Remember the Night is directed by Mitchell Leisen and written by Preston Sturges. It stars Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, Beulah Bondi, Elizabeth Patterson, Willard Robertson and Sterling Holloway. Music is by Friedrich Hollaender and cinematography by Ted Tetzlaff.

    A lovely heart warming tale for the Yuletide season, story pitches Stanwyck as a lady thief and MacMurray as the prosecutor who takes pity on her and takes her home to meet his family. Back stories are revealed and the chemistry between the two principals is palpable. The genius pen of Sturges provides much humour, romance and family values, while Leisen smartly directs his cast to bonzer performances. Also of note is that the director never lets the film slip into deep treacle territory, getting the various balances just right.

    A must see Christmas movie across the board. 8/10
