Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Remember the Night is a 1940 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Mitchell Leisen, written by Preston Sturges, and starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray.In New York City, career shoplifter Lee Leander (Stanwyck) is once again caught swiping something; this time it’s a fancy bracelet. The usual legal procedure occurs, and she thinks she might catch a break since it’s the holiday season: maybe the jurors will let her go free out of pity, and that ol’ Christmas spirit. Unfortunately for her, the District Attorney, John Sargent (MacMurray), is an ace at these types of cases with women thieves. He cooks up a scheme that postpones the proceedings until after the holidays, making her indictment more likely.But something hits John as he sees Lee leaving the courtroom, angry and dejected, facing the prospect of spending the holidays alone and behind bars. He decides to post bail for her, so she can enjoy Christmas far from jail. What he doesn't expect is for the bail officer to bring her to his apartment when he’s almost ready to start a long drive to visit his family home in Indiana.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })After he buys her a warm meal and they share a dance, he discovers that she too is from Indiana. He decides to take her home, and then pick her up after New Year’s. But when it turns out that Lee's mother wants nothing to do with her, John offers his own family home for her to stay during the holidays. In a stark contrast to Lee’s home situation, Mrs. Sargent (Beulah Bondi) and Aunt Emma (Elizabeth Patterson) welcome her with warm, open arms. She is finally accepted somewhere, and when sparks fly between her and John, things get more complicated.The first of the four films made with Stanwyck and MacMurray as the two leads, this was also the film that drove Sturges, who was furious at how Leisen kept changing his script, to start directing his own pictures.Not to be confused with A Night to Remember.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |

Insanity Defense | |
| Remember the Night / int_2f913008 | comment |
Insanity Defense: This is what Lee’s defense is using. Hilariously so. He says Leander was “hypnotized”, and therefore, couldn’t resist getting the bracelet. Sargent has a good time laughing at his over-the-top antics. Even Lee laughs at her lawyer for using that trick: | |

Sarcastic Confession: John drives Lee back to New York City by way of Canada, and when they get to the border, the customs agent asks them why they've come to Canada, to which John replies that they're fugitives from justice. The customs agent laughs and lets them in. Of course, they really are; they ran out on a judge who was going to book them for trespassing, damaging other people's property, theft, and in John's case, bringing a woman across state lines. | |
