"n EMEMBER LAST NIGHT?"
I\ Where were you?
Wouldn't that be a tough proposition if you had been tight the night before and were suddenly hauled up and accused of murdering a member of the gay party which had continued around the clock?
Twelve hours, and what happened?
"Remember Last Night?"
Well, here's some of it.
Merriment for supper.
Murder for breakfast.
And in between, twelve hours of gaiety which masked a diabolical plot with guns popping, knives flashing through the air, with dancing and stolen kisses, masquerades and murder, kidnap threats written in Greek, false clues written in blood, bouncing checks and planted footprints, wine in tall glasses and blood on the moon, wise-cracking socialites and laughter turned to screams of horror, high finance and horrid hang-overs, a hazardous hypnotist, a gay progressive party that managed to progress from mirth to murder.
And three murders and thirteen alibis like this: —
"I DON'T REMEMBER LAST NIGHT?"
A group of socially prominent young people — the faster set on Long Island — wake up after staging a gay party to find that a murder has been committed. Chief among the players is Edward Arnold, who has scored so heavily in "Diamond Jim," while also in the star-studded cast are Constance Cummings, Sally Eilers, Robert Young, Robert Arm
strong, Gregory Ratoff, Reginald Denny, Monroe Owsley and a number of other stage and screen favorites.
The story opens with Constance Cummings, as Carlotta Milburn, and Robert Young, as her husband, Tony, awaking in a vast Long Island mansion to find that during a party given the night before to celebrate the fact that they've been married six months — one of those progressive parties which goes f rom house to house — George Meeker, playing the role of the wealthy Vic Huling, has been shot in the heart.
They begin making their own investigation into the killing and discover that there are grounds for suspecting everyone, including themselves. First an ace detective, played by Edward Arnold, and his assistant, Edward Brophy, are called in. They are making some headway when a hypnotist is summoned. But then new murders are committed and clues are lost and facts distorted. It is only through the clear deductions and herculean efforts of Arnold that the killer is apprehended under unusual circumstances.
Universal has not only secured a splendid cast for the production, but Carl Laemmle, Jr., has spared nothing in making the sets pretentious. He also secured James Whale, the man who did "Frankenstein," "Waterloo Bridge," "Bride of Frankenstein" and "The Invisible Man," to direct so that the story would not only have its full quota of humor but would be eerie and chilling as well, at times.
