Todo pasa de noche

Darryl F. Zanuck cut the budget on this Sonja Henie vehicle Everything Happens At Night. Sonja is confined to only one skating sequence and the ccent on the antics of Ray Milland and Robert Cummings pursuing Sonja and a story.

Milland and Cummings are rival reporters for British and American newspapers and in Switzerland both recognize Maurice Moscovitch a peace activist and Nobel Prize winner thought assassinated by the Nazis.

Like Clark Gable and Walter Pidgeon from the MGM film Too Hot To Handle from the previous year when pursuing both a story and Myrna Loy, Milland and Cummings get their hormones intertwined completely with their job. The two really act like school boys over Sonja.

Unlike the MGM film, Zanuck kept this 20th Century Fox product on board with reality. Everything Happens At Night is one of the first films out there to identify Nazi Germany as a villain.

With a short running time Everything Happens At Night keeps a good pace with a vital message laced with comedy.
