A perfect blend of nostalgia, film, food, and festive cheer.
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.
