This Sunday on "Sunday Night Playhouse," Vintage Classic Radio presents an episode of Lux Radio Theatre featuring the 1940 romantic drama, Remember the Night. Starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck, this heartwarming tale revolves around a prosecuting attorney, Jack Sargent, who unexpectedly becomes involved in the life of a shoplifter, Lee Leander, just before Christmas. After deciding to take Lee to his family’s home for the holidays rather than sending her to jail immediately, Jack begins to discover more about her troubled past, and a deep bond starts to form between them. As they spend time together, both characters are forced to confront their own inner struggles, leading to a story filled with warmth, redemption, and love. The episode, originally broadcast on March 25, 1940, brings together a talented supporting cast, including Beulah Bondi as Jack's mother and Elizabeth Patterson as Aunt Emma, alongside Sterling Holloway and Willard Robertson. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, this episode of Lux Radio Theatre brings the charm of classic Hollywood storytelling to the airwaves, delivering an unforgettable evening of nostalgia and emotion. Vintage Classic Radio is proud to present this timeless story as part of our "Sunday Night Playhouse" series, bringing classic radio drama back to life for modern audiences.
