One Night's Song (French: La chanson d'une nuit) is a 1933 musical film directed by Pierre Colombier and Anatole Litvak and starring Jan Kiepura, Magda Schneider and Pierre Brasseur.[1] [2] It was a co-production between Germany and France. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin alongside the German The Song of Night. A separate English-language version Tell Me Tonight was also produced.
Celebrated opera singer Enrico Ferraro is overwhelmed by his fame and tired of being directed by his manager. He heads to the French Riviera for a break and there encounters Koretzky, a man who strongly resembles him. He engages Koretzky to act as his double but complications soon arise.
A review in the film magazine Pour Vous considered it "tasteful cinema, light-heartedness and good humor without any vulgarity" while other reviewers praised Anatole Litvak's direction.[3]
