HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT is a lovely romance, from a time when young women went to work and dreamed of marrying Prince Charming. More often than not, those Cinderella dreams turned sour. Irene Vail married HER Prince, and ended up with a jealous sadist. I won't tell you any more except that all four leads played their parts to perfection. Jean Arthur is luminous as the ex-mannequin whose gems and sables give her no peace, and Boyer is suave and gentle as her "Hero of the Night". Leo Carrillo is a wonderful comedic foil for Boyer, filled with jokes and a 'spot-on' Italian accent. Finally, Colin Clive does what he does best...combining malevelance with a reptilian charm that makes it clear why Irene was attracted in the first place. A truly Fine Romance!
