| After her marriage and the completation of "Golden Boy" Barbara Stanwyck went to work again at Paramount in "Remember the night". The script, by Preston Sturges, was warm and witty, and the film became another star in Stanwyck's crown. It remains, to this day, one of her most enduring films. As she always did on every film, immediately upon reporting for work on a new picture, Barbara went around to each crew member and either introduced herself or renewed a previous acquaintance. The fact that she remembered each of their names and the names of their wives and their children's birthdays left the crew |

| Barbara first film of 1941 reunited her with Frank Capra for her first starring role opposite Gary Cooper. Barbara loved to wark with Capra and trusted him completely and she hadd accepted the part before even reading the script. Once production began she wasn't disappointed. As she explained to a reporter at the time * You make other pictures to live, but you live to make a Capra picture* She and Cooper had a great deal in common and worked beautifully together. He had made a successful career out of portraying ordinary, common men in an incredibly natural style and Barbara was his female counterpart. More often than not, her characters were real women showing honest emotion and coping with problems in a natural way. Production of the film took two months and the film was finally shown with one of the five ending the director had shot in an icehouse with temperature kept at 10 degreesF. |
