Midnight (1939)

 
 
 
A chorus girl stranded in Paris is set up by a millionaire to break up his wife's affair with another man, while being romantically pursued by a cab driver. 
 
From memory: Classic Mitchell Leisen screwball comedy is fast-paced, witty and full memorable scenes.
 
Halliwell***: "Sparkling sophisticated comedy which barely flags until a slightly disappointing ending; all the talents involved are in excellent form."
 
Maltin+++1/2: "...near-classic comedy written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett. Barrymore's antics are especially memorable."
