An unemployed American showgirl poses as Hungarian royalty to infiltrate Parisian high society.

Don’t let the title fool you – Midnight is a champagne-soaked screwball delight from start to finish, also co-written by Billy Wilder! Claudette Colbert shines as a down-on-her-luck showgirl who stumbles into high society thanks to a borrowed gown and a well-timed lie. Add a lovestruck taxi driver, a meddling aristocrat (John Barrymore), and a whirl of mistaken identities, and you’ve got a comedy that’s as sharp as it is stylish. A hidden gem from the golden age of Hollywood, this one deserves the spotlight. -TORONTO FILM SOCIETY
