Movie Info

In this film, Grace Moore opens the film by losing a radio talent contest in New York. She disconsolately heads to Europe, where the best job she can come up with is singing in a restaurant. Here she is discovered by brilliant voice-teacher Tulio Carminatti, who carefully nurtures Moore.

Critic Reviews for One Night of Love

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2)

  • One Night of Love is basically an operatic film. It's the fact that the film is human, down to earth, that helps most.

  • An enjoyable light diversion, one worthy of the charm and talent of its stellar performer.

  • Love and comedy, with grand operatic climaxes. With Grace Moore, Metropolitan soprano superb in the leading role. Highly recommended.

    Maclean's Magazine

  • The star looks charming and sings like an angel; while Tullio Carminati scores a distinct personal triumph as her leading man.

    Helen Brown Norden

    Vanity Fair

  • It's all rather cliche-ridden, but the film was a box office hit and began a brief period of Hollywood stardom for operatic diva Moore.

    Jan 31, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
    TV Guide

  • Worth watching as a sampler of the kind of musical that prevailed for a short time, the Hollywood operetta, featuring former Metropolitan Opera diva Grace Moore singing arias from Carmen and Madame Butterfly alongside more popular tunes by Kahn and others

    This 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.
