M-G-M put this trio together in a breezy story with mood and music to match. Fun, frolic and a flock of surprises follow as surely as a happy hang¬ over follows a night on the town. Before *Thi8 Could Be The Night” is over, you’ve had a really wonderful date with a Runyonesque assortment of people— the strippers and singers and dancers and mobsters whose
day begins when the sun goes down.
This picture is rich in personalities. There is seductive Julie Wilson (the torch -swinging tops of "Pajama Game”) and the newcomely Neile Adams (ixi a sensational strip-tease number called Hustlin NewsgaP^) plus ^such ^talents as Joan Blondell,
J. Carrol Naish, Rafael Campos, ZaSu Pitts and Ray
Anthony and his orchestra.
Joe Pasternak produced with a knowing eye on life. Robert Wise directed wisely and well. Isobel Lennart, who wrote the amusing screen play, based
it on stories by Cordelia Baird Gross.
"This Could Be The Night” is a good tune to whistle and a good CinemaScope movie to go see. We figure it is for anyone who has ever known a pretty schoolteacher, ever visited a smoky night spot, or ever enjoyed a really relaxed night at the movies. This could be the night for it. You’ll have an
awfully good time.
THINGS-TO-LOOK-FOR DEPT.: The visit of the tough night club operator to the schoolteacher s classroom. (He finds himself in the middle of a junior "Blackboard Jungle” and quells a pint-sized riot).
NOTE; The aboee text appears in M-G-M’s "Picture-of -theMonth" column in leading national magazines.
