#ManCrushMonday Fred MacMurray as Jack Sargent in "Remember the Night" (1940)




New York City's Assistant District Attorney Jack Sargent is pressed to prosecute a woman (Barbara Stanwyck) who steals a bracelet around Christmas time, but he has the smarts to postpone the case to make sure the jury isn't swayed by holiday good cheer. So now Lee Leander, a fellow Hoosier from Indiana, has nowhere to go but jail, but Jack can fix this as well. But with her bond paid, Lee still has nowhere to go unless back home and before Sargent realizes it, he's taking her into his own family home where she is treated with all of the warm holiday cheer. Somewhere along the way, Jack starts developing feelings for the woman he's supposed to be prosecuting.
