Barbara Stanwyck is a beautiful woman, when she can keep her hair from falling down in front of her face. Fred MacMurray isn't a bad sort of a guy, especially when he is playing, as in "Remember the Night," a local boy from the Wabash country of Indiana who has made good in the big city as an assistant district attorney. The two of them together have been able to do a lot for this over-sweet litle romance; some who have seen it say it made them remember all the girls they had ever been in love with. It is pure sentiment, the triumph of unsophisticated country hospitality over city-bred cynicism. Barbara Stanwyck manages to make the seamy side of life look alluring, but Boy Scout MacMurray saves the show for the Sunday School trade. This film will never make the list of the ten best, or even the twenty best, but it will do a lot to take the chill off Harvard Square these days.
