‘Remember the Day’: Teachers Matter

A man learns how to separate the important from the trivial thanks to a lesson learned in childhood.

Dewey Roberts (Douglas Croft) learns life lessons from his teacher Nora Trinell (Claudett Colbert), in "Remember the Day." 20th Century Fox/MovieStillsDB

NR | 1h 26m | Drama | 1941

Rarely do adults remember the day they started (or left) the eighth grade.  This lighthearted film suggests that early, formative moments that fade faster from memory, shape character more definitively than apparently more memorable or spectacular moments from later in life.
