Remember Last Night (1935)
After six months of wedded bliss, Tony Milburn and his wife Carlotta celebrate their "anniversary" with a traveling "Jubilee Binge," which begins with liquid hors d'oevres at the mansion of their friends, Vic and Bette Huling. During the evening Vic finds Bette in the garden speaking with their mechanic, Fred Flannagan, and, long suspecting an affair between the two, Vic fires Fred. He later threatens his friend, Billy Arliss, because Billy is unable to repay a large debt. When Tony upbraids Vic for picking on Billy, Vic tries to hit him, but Jake Whitridge intervenes. The party continues on to its next destination, Billy's palatial home, where the revelers don blackface masks and drink champagne with straws from a soup tureen. The next stop is at Jake and his wife Penny's home, and from there the drunken rabble go to Faronea's restaurant. Unknown to them, Faronea has arranged with Vic's French chauffeur, Baptiste Bouclier, to kidnap Vic that evening and hold him for ransom. The next morning, Tony and Carlotta awaken with hangovers in a lavish bedroom in the Huling home. Neither can remember their activities the previous night, and both are mortified to discover Vic dead in his bed, shot through the heart from under his arm. Bette is not at home so Tony calls his friend, district attorney Danny Harrison. While Danny's assistant, Maxie, interviews the French maid, Florabelle, Danny begins his investigation. Bette arrives with Billy, at whose home she awoke. Bette later discovers cancelled checks in her safe for over $100,000, signed by a stranger whom no one knows. Because circumstantial evidence points to Tony as the murderer because of his argument with Vic, he calls in hypnotist Professor Karl Herman Eckhardt Jones to hypnotize all the suspects. Jones emerges from his interviews and states that one person tried to fool him, but before he can reveal the name, he is shot dead. Carlotta finds a note to Bouclier telling him to go to Faronea's wine cellar. She and Tony go there and hide while Faronea discusses a deal with someone, but Faronea discovers the couple. Trying to scare him, Tony tells Faronea he is working with police and knows that Faronea intended to kidnap Vic, but Bouclier killed him instead and confessed. Faronea is killed by his accomplice, who escapes, but his death confirms Tony's story. Tony and Carlotta return to the Huling home, and while Carlotta is inside, Tony searches the chauffeur's quarters where he finds Bouclier murdered. Tony and Danny question Bouclier's mother, and learn that her son had paid for expensive operations that cured her blindness. In the armoire, they find a note to Bouclier thanking him for "bumping off" Jones. Later, Danny interrogates Fred who turns out to be Bette's brother, an ex-convict, but apparently is innocent of the recent criminal activities. Jake responds to a call from Billy, who is hysterical, but when Danny and Tony arrive moments later as planned, Jake knocks Billy over the head and hides his body. Billy recovers, however, and attempts to shoot Jake, but Tony saves him, and Billy collapses. After Bette, Penny and Carlotta arrive, Danny explains the whole mystery: Billy borrowed money for Jake from Vic using a pseudonym, but when Jake rewrote the check to read $150,000 instead of $50,000, Vic forced Billy to tell him for whom he borrowed the money. Jake shot Vic in his home, then took him to the pool during the party, but everyone was so drunk they thought he had merely passed out. Jake paid off Bouclier to remain quiet, which is why Bouclier shot Jones, then Jake shot Bouclier. Danny now arrests Jake, and Florabelle identifies him as Bouclier's murderer, because she was in Bouclier's room that night. Danny also has evidence tying Jake to Vic's attempted kidnapping. Danny asks Carlotta and Tony to swear off alcohol, so they drink a toast to that, and the Hulings' butler Phelps quits
