History Is Made at Night (1937)


United Artists

Jean Arthur, in Paris to get a divorce from her husband, falls in love with headwaiter Charles Boyer. When he gets implicated in a murder really committed by her husband, she leaves for New York City to save him. Months later, he follows her and becomes headwaiter at a posh restaurant. Unaware of her whereabouts, he waits patiently for her to show up one night, but their reunion is bittersweet. The plot takes a left turn into disaster-movie melodramatics for the overblown ending.
