Remember the Day is a 1941 American drama film directed by Henry King and starring Claudette Colbert, John Payne and John Shepperd . The film was produced and released by 20th Century Fox. It was based on a play of the same title by Philo Higley and Philip Dunning.[2]

Plot

Elderly schoolteacher Nora Trinell reflects on her life and teaching career while waiting to see Dewey Roberts, formerly her student and currently a presidential nominee. This film is reminiscent of Cheers for Miss Bishop (released ten months earlier, in February 1941) and 1955's Good Morning, Miss Dove.
