| New York TimesMordaunt HallAn enjoyable light diversion, one worthy of the charm and talent of its stellar performer. |
| VarietyVariety StaffOne Night of Love is basically an operatic film. It's the fact that the film is human, down to earth, that helps most. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.Once you got over the thrill of seeing real opera sung onscreen, you get tired of the tired story. |
| User ReviewJeff KGrace Moore made two films for MGM that missed, but MGM kept her very matronly. Columbia saw Grace as sexy and let her be herself. Some people say that the film is cliche' ridden, but this was 1934 and the cliche's came after this film for the most part. Moore, Barrie, Talbot and Carmenatti are full of fun and it's a timeless film you'll want to experience. Moore was up for an Academy Award for this film and it won two awards for music. |
| User ReviewAshley WIt's a hidden gem that brings us to a period when Opera was almost magical in movies. Grace Moore is simply wonderful and charming in this flick. |
| User ReviewMichael TAn opera lover's dream, with Grace Moore, the film,and the title song all achieving hit status. |
| User ReviewJeff BA true forgotten gem from the 1930's, this was a starring vehicle for Grace Moore, who was a well-known opera singer of the day. The story revolves around the love affair of an American opera singer and her Italian singing teacher/manager. The romance story is predictable enough but how it unfolds is surprisingly clever and utterly entertaining - even by today's standards. There are quite a few extended opera , but it helps to shwocase the talent of Moore and is a lovely addition to this funny and fast-paced romantic comedy. |
| User ReviewJohn LOpera and Grace Moore fans will rate it five stars. Everyone else will be bored to tears. It succeeded in 1934 because audio recording technology was able to capture operatic stars much better than before, and the method of recording was a film making technological advancement. In short, AMPAS voters were wow'ed by this. Absent that, the movie has nothing to offer. The extremely thin story was created to feature Grace Moore and her operatic singing. John |
| User ReviewGreg WThis film is an attempt to bring opera to the big screen..with a bit of a lame story line around it. It took a few decades but the Metropolitan Opera has the best translation to the big screen. This one doesn't even come close. |
