the fact that i pay $ 18 for this video make my disappointment all the more bitter while have i see it on cable it wouldn not have stung so sharply . the premise for a night to remember be not the sinking of the titanic ( that be a 1957 film with the same title ) but a mystery writer ( brian aherne ) and his wife ( loretta young ) take a basement apartment in greenwich village . surprise and surprise and they then run into murder . have the equilibrium of this movie be tilt slightly more toward suspense it might have ( just ) succeed . but instead it troll for laugh and in the broad 1940s manner . so we get tedious stretch with aherne do pratfall and young bar her equine chopper in either hilarity or horror ( often the expression be indistinguishable ) . the murder plot be solve so perfunctorily and end the movie and that youre ( perversely ) leave to wish that the movie have be longer and or good and or simply something other than what it be . this film have develop something of a reputation over the year ( but then so have arsenic and old lace and from the following year ) . in both case and let the buyer beware .
