sentjourwla I gave this little ditty a 9 out of 10 because it's worth it to see some very funny dialog, good acting, and three very beautiful stars! Sometimes I'm a classic film 'snob' and prefer not to waste my time watching trash, so please know that I grade harshly. So, it was with delight that I discovered this little gem I'd never heard of. I'm a huge fan of Lew Ayres; he can do no wrong in my book - ever. I see that "Remember?" didn't get glowing reviews, and I urge you not to let that stop you. I rarely laugh out loud while movie-watching, but I found myself doing so! This is an adorable bit of cinema. It was NOT meant to be sophisticated or thought-provoking. It's for FUN - plain and simple!

vincentlynch-moonoi This film isn't half as bad as some of our reviewers are indicating...nor is it half as good as the typical Greer Garson film! But we do need to remember that this was only her second film, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.I think one of the things that we don't like about this film is that here, Greer Garson is engaged, but marries a different man shortly after meeting him...and he happens to be the best friend of her original fiancée. It doesn't exactly put Garson's character in a positive light.But, as we learn, it isn't just a story about girl marrying fiancée's best friend. The marriage flops, the original fiancée gives them a medicine that erases the memory, and we go through it all a second time...well, at least an abbreviated version.You have to suspend belief just a little bit too much here. And, this is supposed to be a comedy...and there is a bit of light humor in it, but I doubt you'll laugh out loud...perhaps very quietly to yourself.There are some bright spots in the cast, but it doesn't quite save the picture. Robert Taylor is good as the eventual husband. Greer Garson already seems like a polished actress in only her second film. We have a lot of sympathy for the original fiancée -- Lew Ayres -- who is really pleasant. I never understood the attraction of Billie Burke...and still don't. Reginald Owen doesn't get much beyond his usual bluster. Henry Travers is always a welcome addition to any film. It's kind of fun seeing Laura Hope Crews during the same year she was Aunt Pittipat in "Gone With The Wind".I'm stretching a bit to give this a "7", but it's an okay film, and a must if you're a fan of Greer Garson!

judithh-1 Greer Garson was a rising star in 1939 and this film was her follow up to "Goodbye Mr. Chips." She had proved unexpectedly popular and the studio hurried this into production. Robert Taylor was in a slump after "Lady of the Tropics" and before "Waterloo Bridge." Robert Osborne, on TCM, commented that the screenwriters were either extremely clever or drunk. I tend to the latter interpretation.The plot involves a love triangle consisting of Taylor, Garson and Lew Ayres. Taylor steals Garson from his old friend Ayres and the two marry. Subsequently Taylor neglects Garson by concentrating on his career. When he misses the boat for their honeymoon, she leaves him and they begin a divorce.Ayres, either to get Garson back or to help the couple, slips each of them an amnesia drug, so that they forget the last six months. It works and, in a manner reminiscent of "Groundhog Day," they repeat their initial meeting and fall in love again, marry again and leave poor Ayres in the dust.The entire cast is very smooth and professional, with Taylor and Ayres both outshining the still new Garson. Supporting actors include Billie Burke and Reginald Owen, both of them doing their signature type of character. Sara Haden is excellent as Taylor's secretary.There is a lot of good dialog, some genuinely funny situations and the usual MGM high gloss. "Remember?" is like a good dessert: rich, tasty but not substantial.

edsevern (Small spoilers) If you're a fan of Greer Garson (like me) or Robert Taylor (like me) you'll need to see this movie. If you're not a fan, you'll find the first forty minutes to be brilliant but the rest tiresome.This was Greer Garson's second film, and she's still young and beautiful here, with the full MGM glamour treatment. You can see that she hasn't perfected her acting skills yet; she does that next year in "Pride and Prejudice".Robert Taylor is delightful in the first half. Yes, he does steal Lew Ayres' fiancée, but Greer is hard to resist. Lew Ayres' character resigns himself to this fate rather easily, having obviously endured it from his friend many times in the past. Taylor is very funny when he gets startled several times. Greer and Taylor are wonderful together, even more so than they are two years later in "When Ladies Meet".If you're not a fan of either of these two, you'll still enjoy the first half of this movie. There are plenty of gags, funny lines, and good ideas; you could fill a whole web page with the hilarious things that Billie Burke gets to say.But after the popular surprise-party sequence, everything slows down; the movie could actually end at this point. There is no dramatic need for anything else to happen: up until this point Lew Ayres has never shown any desire to get Greer back. It's not even clear to me why he bothers to slips them the drug, other than to help them forget their misery.After eighty minutes, the movie ends very abruptly with Greer speaking a line that makes absolutely no sense. This one line will leave you shaking your head and wondering why you bothered with this movie. But go back and watch the first half again.As I said, if you're a fan, then watch it. Otherwise, if you come across this movie somewhere, watch until the surprise party scene and then be kind and rewind.
