Remember the Night (1940)
Dir. Mitchell Leisen | Starring Barbara Stanwyck & Fred MacMurray
A rare blend of screwball comedy and heartfelt romance, this overlooked holiday classic marked the first pairing of Stanwyck and MacMurray before Double Indemnity. Written by Preston Sturges, the film balances wit and warmth, making it one of cinema’s most beloved “hidden” Christmas stories.
Alonso Duralde
Alonso Duralde’s Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas is an essential companion for anyone who loves festive films — from timeless classics to lesser-known gems. Insightful, funny, and full of holiday spirit, it’s the perfect guide to seasonal cinema watching.
