A Night to Remember should be retitled A Night So Bad it's Hard to forget. Loretta Young must have been hard up for cash to involve herself in this pathetic attempt at the mystery/comedy genre. I've watched some very lame poverty row comedies that put A Night to Remember in the "they couldn't be serious" category.
I spotted on the Classic Reel streaming channel, checked the cast and decided it would be great fun. Columbia assembled a group of dependable B stars including Don McBride, Sidney Toler, William "Billy" Benedict, Lee Patrick, the usually creepy Gale Sondergard and James Burke. Any B fan would rejoice in seeing these characters together. But not here.
Brian Ahern's attempts at comedy are inane. And, the musical score would be great as underscore on an episode of Ozzie & Harriet or Life of Riley.
In short, I wasted 90 minutes.
