Lee Leander (Stanwyck) is a petty shoplifter on trial for swiping an expensive bracelet from a local jewelry store. When her trial is postponed until after New Year's, sympathetic Assistant District Attorney John Sargent (MacMurray) bails her out of jail.

Lee Leander (Stanwyck) is caught shoplifting and John Sargent (MacMurray) is the tough District Attorney's prosecutor who is out to convict her. Trouble is, it's hard to get a conviction around Christmas, so he jumps at a chance to postpone the trial when her windbag attorney introduces a new theory of her innocence. Sargent is about to go home to Indiana to his widowed mother and aunt, but feels sorry for Lee and arranges to have her released in his custody, assuming she will stay at her hotel during the court's holiday recess. It's hilarious when she arrives at his place and thinks he has other things in mind., saying "I suppose you do this with all the lady prisoners?" Soon he discovers she has no money and is locked out of her hotel and so he decides to take her with him on his Indiana Christmas trip.
This begins a voyage of them discovering each other, at times in funny situations as when they have to sleep in the car for a night in a field of cows, or in sad situations, when Lee visits her Mother at her old home. The heart of the film is the quiet idyll at the farm where John grew up with his mother (Beula Bondi), Aunt Emma (Elizabeth Patterson) and their eccentric farmhand Willie (Sterling Holloway), and as it proceeds you feel you really don't want it to end.
The film was directed by Preston Sturges, one of the best director's of comedies in Hollywood's golden era. The actors work perfectly well together and the result is a really magical Christmas movie. Check it out. It's really worth adding to your holiday movies. I finally bought it, but I hope Amazon adds it to their Amazon Video streamed movies so more people will become aware of it.
Five stars without question for the content. This is a great, and undeservedly overlooked film. It walks the fine line between mawkish romantism and genuine empathy - hewing closely to the latter. Stanwyck’s performance is an absolute gem; MacMurray better than adequate as her foil, straight man and eventual shoulder to lean on. If you are not left gasping for air at the end of the Stanwyck character’s visit to her mother back home in Indiana for the first time in years, your heart must be made of stone.
As for the disc itself... aye, there’s the rub. It is intermittently playable on my oppo bluray player, why it works once for every four or five times it fails, who knows. This film desperately cries out for a Criterion style digital restoration - the quality of the print, when it can be viewed at all, is on the ragged edge of unwatchable in places, barely adequate elsewhere. If the film were getting the audience it richly deserves - along with Christmas in Connecticut and It’s A Wonderful Life, we could be watching a luminous, crisp print with fantastic sound, like the excellent versions we now have of those other two holiday season classics.
As it is, you have to love the movie, as I do, to soldier on through a very dicey version. TCM occasionally shows the film on its regular schedule in December, and you might do well to watch Remember the Night that way until a well restored version is available on disc or for digital download.
