One Romantic Night
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One Romantic Night is the title given to the first sound film version of Ferenc Molnar's play The Swan. One Romantic Night was made in 1930. It was silent screen star Lillian Gish's talking film debut. She starred as Princess Alexandra, with Conrad Nagel as the tutor who falls in love with her, and Rod La Rocque as Crown Prince Albert. The film was only fairly successful, though Ms. Gish would go on to become as highly regarded in talking pictures as she had been in silent films.
The 1956 Technicolor film version of The Swan, the only one of the three film versions made by MGM, is much more frequently shown today.
