Remember? is a brief M.G.M. comedy of the late 1930s - remembered as the second film made by Greer Garson (after her debut appearance in Goodbye Mr. Chips). She is supported by Robert Taylor in a typical hero charming role and Lew Ayres once again as the other man. There is pleasing support from such a cast as Billie Burke, Reginald Owen, Henry Travers.

The plot is fluffy and even trivial, playing with the amnesia theme. Lew Ayres is about to get married to Greer; Robert Taylor sees her and sweeps her off her feet; they marry - with assorted jokes about the justice of the peace and a policeman accompanying them; they break up because he is always busy; they take a potion which makes them forget everything of the last six months; they meet again in similar circumstances and it all happens over. Typical material of '30s comedy - not exactly the screwball type from other studios, rather the more sedate M.G.M. style.

Of some interest as an example of '30s film-making - but more interesting for its place in Greer Garson's career.
