Remember the Night sounds interesting. I don’t think I’d ever heard of it before, but Stanwyck and MrMurray have such fascinating chemistry in Double Indemnity that I’m curious to see how they interact in a different setting.

The Palm Beach Story is with Claudette Colbert, right? I think she’s amazing in It Happened One Night, childish and playful without ever looking dumb. And speaking of It Happened One Night: I bought Mutiny on the Bounty in Paris and watched it on the train, and it’s official: Clark Gable is second only to Bogie when it comes to my favorite male movie stars of that era. I had to get used to his lack of a moustache, but he’s great.

Ah, so many films to watch! Now if only the Netherlands had something like Netflix… (there are comparable services, but alas without a comparable catalogue).

If you can find it, he wrote Remember the Night with Miss Stanwyck and Fred McMurray before they starred together in Double Indemnity. I heard it’s a fine film also, but alas I haven’t seen it.

Yet, if you’re looking for Veronica Lake in full-on cute comedy mode, check out Rene Clair’s I Married a Witch, in which she starred with Fredric March and Susan Hayward. I just love that film, and I think you’d probably love it as well, Hedwig.
