Classic Movies - Christmas Classics: Remember the Night

Just before Christmas, Lee Leander is caught shoplifting. It is her third offense. She is prosecuted by John Sargent. He gets the trial postponed because it is hard to get a conviction at Christmastime. But he feels sorry for her and arranges for her bail, and ends up taking her home to his mother for Christmas. Surrounded by a loving family (in stark contrast to Lee's own family background) they fall in love. This creates a new problem: how do they handle the upcoming trial?

**Trivia Question for Today: American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1931-1940 claims that, except for Double Indemnity (1944), this was Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray's only joint screen appearance. Fact is, they also co-starred in two other movies together. What are the names of these two movies?

Trivia Answer for Previous Post: The Connecticut home used in Christmas in Connecticut was also used in Bringing Up Baby (1938) starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn.
