Turner Classic Movies and Universal are proud to present the first-ever Blu-ray release of REMEMBER THE NIGHT (1940), digitally remastered and fully restored from high resolution 35mm original film elements in commemoration of its 75th anniversary.
Synopsis:
Legendary screen duo Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray star in this heartwarming holiday classic, which is more popular than ever as it celebrates its 75th anniversary. Stanwyck is a petty shoplifter caught stealing a bracelet and MacMurray is the Assistant District Attorney who gets her sent off to jail just before the holidays, then suffers a crisis of conscience and bails her out. When he invites her to join him and his family for Christmas, it begins a relationship that strains—but ultimately redeems—all parties. Featuring a wonderful supporting cast (Beulah Bondi, Sterling Holloway and Elizabeth Patterson), stylish costumes by Edith Head, a hilarious yet poignant script by Preston Sturges and superb direction by Mitchell Leisen, this is a timeless holiday favorite that can be enjoyed in any season.

TCM Archival Interviews
I feel kind of skeptic since their last Blu-ray release was not all that great, I just hope they get this one right like their first one.
TCM has it available for Pre-Order for $24.99 and will be released on November 3, 2014.
