1940 | DCP | US | D: Mitchell Leisen

With Barbara Stanwyck and Fred McMurray
Screenplay by Preston Sturges

Remember the Night is a wonderful comedy classic (rated a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes!), but too rarely seen today. Stanwyck plays a woman driven by poverty to shoplifting, for which she is arrested. Her attorney pays her bail and takes her to her home in the mid-west to re-unite with her mother - a woman living in grim Dickensian poverty. The attorney then takes her to his own family home for Christmas, a move that changes Stanwyck’s life. A Time Out (London) critic described it as "a winning romantic comedy-drama … a movie of warmth and immense style.” A Melbourne Cinematheque program note concluded that it is “a luminous film conveying the sentimental gleam of new-found love … goes well beyond the hide-bound conventions of romantic comedy. … surprisingly complex and unexpectedly moving”.

For one special price, the CIFF Gold Pass will secure entry to all six films in the festival!
