Belated Movie Reviews

A few nights ago we happened across A NIGHT TO REMEMBER (1942), a Loretta Young comedy. A young couple, he a successful murder mystery novelist, move into a New York City apartment in preparation for his next book – only to encounter dead bodies and a mystery in real life.  A plot with twists, a police department with character (and Sydney Toler, of Charlie Chan fame), and some good dialogue and character interactions is burdened with some minor plot and character holes and a foil which becomes a Z, but has the recompense of Loretta’s eyes used to maximum effect.  It’s fun.
