Remember the Night Reviews
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
Perhaps this is a bit too early in the season to be talking of the best pictures of 1940; it is not too early to say that Paramount's nomination is worth considering.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
An astonishing, moving film.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
With an unusually bittersweet conclusion (censors may have had something to do with that), the film is pleasant, irresistible, and unforgettable.
Hollywood Reporter
THR Staff
A heart-warming story based on a distinctly unique premise, sparkling comedy which always has a latent heart tug, superlative performances, an excellent script, top notch production and direction.
Variety
Variety Staff
Stanwyck turns in a fine performance. MacMurray is impressive as the serious-minded prosecutor, but loosens up for the comedy stretches.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The loose, graceful script is by Preston Sturges (one of his last before he turned to directing), and it partakes of a softness and nostalgia that seldom surfaced in his own films.
Washington Star
Harry MacArthur
[Director Mitchell Leisen and Script Writer Preston Sturges] have, with the help of a pair of top-notch performances by Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, given us a fresh and completely engaging yarn.
The Public (Buffalo)
M. Faust
Mixing comedy, romance, and a touch of dark melodrama, it offers a touching and believable story of redemption.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
That modestly budgeted political satire was a sleeper hit with audiences as well as critics...excellent 1940 seriocomedy...
TV Guide
You'd have to be a grump not to like this funny, sentimental blend of pathos, drama and zaniness.
