La Chanson D'une Nuit (aka Tell Me Tonight) (1933)

A famous opera singer (Jan Kiepura) saddled with an overbearing manager (Clara Tambour) ditches her and runs off on a holiday. When a case of mistaken identity with a fellow passenger (Pierre Brasseur) on a train causes the stranger to be identified as the singer, it gives him an opportunity to travel incognito. What he doesn't know is that the guy is wanted by the police. Directed by Anatole Litvak (THE SNAKE PIT), this film was made in German, English and French with Kiepura appearing in all three versions but cast switches for most of the other roles. This French version adapted by Henri Georges Clouzot (LE CORBEAU) is a charmer of a musical comedy, often echoing the early musicals work of Lubitsch and Rene Clair. Kiepura isn't a particularly charismatic performer (though he's in excellent voice) but the rest of the cast handle the farcical aspects perfectly. Notably Brasseur and Lucien Baroux and Charlotte Lyses as a small town mayor and his wife. With Magda Schneider and Charles Lamy.
