Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Night Must Fall (1937) is a film adaptation of the Emlyn Williams' thrilling play of the same name, directed by Richard Thorpe.Olivia (Rosalind Russell) is the beleaguered niece and secretary for her aunt, Mrs. Bramson (Dame Mae Witty), who’s an exacting and grumpy old woman. One day the old lady takes a fancy to page boy, Danny (Robert Montgomery), who’s a charming, common fellow. Olivia has a bad feeling about him and suspects him of being the murderer of a local woman who has gone missing. But Olivia finds herself intrigued by the romanticism of such excitement and doesn’t take herself out of danger even when every passing day makes Danny more suspicious.Not to be confused with the 1964 film of the same name.

Chekhov's Gun: It's pretty obvious when the newspaper mentions the killer whistling the old song "Mighty Lak' a Rose" that we'll hear Danny whistling it. We do, and that scene is the first clue Olivia has that Danny might be the bad guy.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Played Straight, but Subverted in the end. Although contrary to her morals, Olivia is into Danny even though he’s probably a murderer. This stems from boredom in this small village and loneliness. But in the end, she realizes that she was romanticizing a very charming criminal and was very wrong in doing so.
