Constance Cummings is a gorgeous young woman with a pleasant personality and an intriguing way of twisting her small mouth. She is especially delectable when dressed up as a Greek.
That is the best thing we can say about "Remember Last Night?" Take a look at the last page of the last CRIMSON, and you'll see the key to the difficulty. Eleven heads depicted!--Eleven major characters, each doing his level best to bewilder the unfortunate spectator. All detective movies befuddle us. But this one--oh boy! After studying intently those aforesaid faces in the CRIMSON, it is still impossible to pick out the first and principal of the numerous murder victims. And as for the villain, when he and his infernal craft were bared on the screen, we absolutely could not recall having seen him before. The crimes are so freely sprinkled throughout the picture that the last time someone took a knife in his back, nobody in the audience or in the show either seemed remotely concerned.
Maudlin, Perhaps, But Gripping
"O'Shaughnessy's Boy" is unfortunately waterlogged with tears and therefore heavy. Nobody minds a little pulling of the heartstring, but there is decidedly too much of it in this picture. Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper do the best they can, however, and one wishes that their touching friendship might be depicted in terms a little less soggy.
But even when the emotion becomes too thick, there are always the wild animals. And lions, tigers, and elephants, whether in the jungle or in captivity, are always scary. This time they are part of a circus, and Wallace Beery is their trainer. When Cooper like Beery, then the beasts are completely submissive. But when he doesn't, then the tigers rage and smart at Wallace and bite his arms off! But in spite of the naiveties, you'll be in uncomfortable suspense when the vicious cats are turned into the same cage with Wallace. In fact, wipe off that cynical smile; you'll probably enjoy the whole picture.
