TRAILER

Assistant District Attorney John Sargent (Fred MacMurray) , knowing that women are harder to convict during the holidays, moves to have his case against shoplifter, Lee Leander (Barbara Stanwyck), postponed to January, potentially leaving Lee alone in jail on Christmas. Feeling guilty, John posts her bail, and the two go on a whirlwind roadtrip from New York to Indiana to celebrate the holiday with their families, only to fall for one another along the way. Will their budding romance get in the way of John’s conviction?

Mitchell Leisen was an American director, art director, and costume designer active from the 1920s through the 1960s. Leisen worked with such famed screenwriters as Billy Wilder on Midnight (1939) and Hold Back the Dawn (1941) and Preston Sturges on Easy Living (1937) and Remember the Night (1940) — Leisen’s Remember the Night is the last Sturges-penned film to have not featured Sturges in the directing chair.
