A pleasantly unpretentious comedy/mystery August 21, 2000
RickyT (United Kingdom)
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
As long as you do not expect something as bright and sophisticated as The Thin Man,this should entertain.A mystery writer (Aherne) and his wife (Young) find themselves involved in a real-life murder mystery.Although Aherne and Young never work as well together as William Powell and Myrna Loy,they still gel fairly well,and the script contains enough sharp lines to make this a consistently amusing and amiable little movie.
 Wrong Synopsis March 22, 2001

You have the wrong synopsis listed for this movie. There was another movie entitled, "A Night to Remember." It's a 1958 release about the Titanic sinking. It's done in a documentary style. The ship's first officer was played by Kenneth More. In many ways this movie is far superior to the Leo DiCaprio recent version.
 "Don't Be Silly, I've Always Been a Fool!" April 11, 2005

This amusing murder mystery has its own special charm and the stars are fun to watch in this little known gem. Loretta Young is lovely beyond words and Brian Aherne very likable as Mr. and Mrs. Troy. All the elements were here for a series had this been made by any studio other than Columbia.
Jeff and Nancy are moving into a quaint basement apartment in Greenwich Village so Nancy can get mystery writer Jeff working on a romance novel and far away from murder. From the moment they arrive, however, it is clear something is a little off-kilter. All the other residents act a little strange when they discover the couple is moving into apartment thirteen, even Nancy's friend Ann.
There is a fun and enjoyable husband and wife feel to the way Jeff and Nancy interact and his false bravado is put to the test when Nancy overhears a phone call at a restaurant arranging a meeting in their apartment. They rush home to find out what's going on but it isn't until morning the body is discovered and the fun begins.
Sidney Tolar of Charlie Chan fame is Inspecter Hawkins and some of the best moments in the film are between him and Jeff. Hawkins has read one of Jeff's books and thinks it knits--spell it backwards! A door everyone but Jeff can open and a turtle from an old speakeasy add some humor as Jeff sort of stumbles around trying to solve the mystery.
Young gets to wear some beautiful dresses and is quite the wife we'd all like to have in director Richard Wallace's forgotten little treasure. This is another great rainy night film you'll have a lot of fun watching. It grows more endearing as the story progresses and by the end you'll be wishing there had been a few more of these that followed. You'll just have to enjoy this one, and you will.

An engaging little story has young married couple Young and Aherne (as a writer) moving into a seemingly tranquil Greenwich Village apartment where strange things begin to happen...The Richard Flournoy-Jack Henley screenplay (from a story by Kelley Roos) works hard at being funny by involving the Troys in a variety of false leads and narrow escapes as Jeff (Aherne) tries to find the murderer himself, but there is a little less menace and less fun in the proceedings. Loretta gives us nervous screams and an air of desperation and Aherne does what he can - they try to give their roles demension and play with aplomb. The script is a bit overwritten, but the supporting cast is fun: Blanche Yurka, Gale Sondergaard, George Chandler and Lee Patrick. In my opinion, Donald McBride comes off best as the eloquently irate and bewildered cop.
Best Titanic Movie So Far, June 11, 2001

This movie would easily be the best Titanic movie around and it would even beat 'TITANIC' 1997 starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio! Despite it been in black and white. For the Titanic fanatics out there, if u want a movie about the TITANIC that's accurate then this is for you.
