Интересные факты

His Glorious Night is a 1929 American pre-Code romance film directed by Lionel Barrymore and starring John Gilbert in his first released talkie. The film is based on the 1928 play Olympia by Ferenc Molnár.

Production

Although His Glorious Night was John Gilbert's first sound film to be released, it was not his first "talkie". His earlier sound film, Redemption, was "'temporarily shelved'" by MGM and not released until early April 1930, six months after the premiere of His Glorious Night.
