Nora (Jean Arthur) is trying to figure out what to do about Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant), who’s landed on her doorstep looking for a safe place to hide after escaping from jail, when her summer tenant, stuffy lawyer Michael Lightcap (Ronald Coleman) arrives early to take up residence. Believing Leopold to be innocent, she stashes the wounded Dilg in the attic. Keeping Leopold hidden becomes impossible but Nora and Leopold set about to win Michael’s sympathy to Dilg’s legal plight without revealing his identity. Constant, ridiculous and comic mix-ups and mishaps threaten to destroy the trio’s friendship and potentially lead to Leopold facing a hostile mob for a crime he didn’t commit. George Stevens deftly explores corrupt small-town politics and the individual’s responsibility to society while fueling a fast-paced romantic comedy with lightness and charm.

I’ll come out with it right now at the beginning. I did not enjoy Ti West and Mia Goth’s X or Pearl. I could see the potential and the intention and could also appreciate the filmmaking as a throwback to the 70’s that felt authentic. I could not get past what I believe to be snails pacing and some out of place acting from the supporting players. Stylistically the films worked, but the substance wasn’t all the way there. I made the choice to see the films to be caught up on the story of Maxine Minx going into MaXXXine. What I didn’t expect was to find a gem of a serial killer thriller in the film!

I was very excited by the premise of Late Night with the Devil, and the stellar reviews and buzz leading up to my initial viewing of the film certainly kept me hopeful. Fortunately, the film delivered. While its release may have run into some over-the-top stories regarding a minor aspect of the film aided by an unexpected talking point regarding the use of A.I., the film still proved to be an intriguing enough venture for audiences, scoring $15 million on a budget that was significantly less, coming out of a small studio. All this is to say, Late Night with the Devil was able to have its concept take hold in the best of ways, delivering a film horror fans could easily latch onto.
