Universal and Turner Classic Movies are bringing
Remember the Night (1940) to Blu-ray. Digitally remastered and fully restored from the original 35mm film elements, the film stars Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, Beulah Bondi, Willard Robertson, Sterling Holloway and Paul Guilfoyle, and makes its Blu-ray debut on November 3rd.
Synopsis: Legendary screen duo Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray star in this heartwarming holiday classic, which is more popular than ever as it celebrates its 75th anniversary. Stanwyck is a petty shoplifter caught stealing a bracelet and MacMurray is the Assistant District Attorney who gets her sent off to jail just before the holidays, then suffers a crisis of conscience and bails her out. When he invites her to join him and his family for Christmas, it begins a relationship that strains—but ultimately redeems—all parties. Featuring a wonderful supporting cast (Beulah Bondi, Sterling Holloway and Elizabeth Patterson), stylish costumes by Edith Head, a hilarious yet poignant script by Preston Sturges and superb direction by Mitchell Leisen, this is a timeless holiday favorite that can be enjoyed in any season.
