  • This Is the Night is a 1932 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Frank Tuttle, and starring Lili Damita, Charles Ruggles, Roland Young, Thelma Todd, and Cary Grant in his film debut. It was made by Paramount Pictures.
    The picture is based on the 1923 play Pouche by Henri Falk and René Peter, and the 1925 English-language adaptation Naughty Cinderella written by Avery Hopwood. The plays had already been adapted for film once before as Good and Naughty (1926) with Pola Negri.
    Plot
    When Claire Mathewson's husband Stephen comes back unexpectedly from the 1932 Summer Olympics, where he was supposed to compete in the javelin throw, he discovers the train tickets for a romantic Venice getaway she has planned with her lover Gerald.
    Gerald's friend, Bunny, lies and says that the tickets are actually for Gerald and his wife. With Stephen still suspicious, Gerald must find a fake wife to go to Venice with him. He tries to hire the actress Chou-Chou, but since her boyfriend is a jealous man, she gives the job to out-of-work Germaine, who needs the 2000 franc fee to keep from starving. At first, Gerald thinks she is too demure, but she soon convinces him that she can pretend to be a glamorous wife.
    The two couples go to Venice. Bunny, attracted to Germaine, decides to join them. On the train, Stephen questions Gerald and Germaine about how they met. When they arrive in Venice, Claire quickly becomes jealous, as both Stephen and Gerald seem fascinated by Germaine. Claire eventually demands that Gerald send Germaine away immediately, so he orders her to leave the next day. Meanwhile, a drunken Bunny climbs a ladder into Germaine's bedroom and offers to take her away. After she turns down his offer, he falls into a canal on his way out and is apprehended by two policemen. Stephen believes he hears a burglar and goes to her room to investigate. The two are then caught in a seemingly compromising position by Gerald and Claire. However, Bunny reappears and explains what really happened. Her love for her husband rekindled, Claire breaks off her affair with Gerald. Germaine reveals to Gerald that she is not in fact Chou-Chou and decides to return to Paris, but Gerald catches up to her in a gondola and asks her to marry him.

    This is a Great Movie, the film is fresh, like it was just released, although it's over 92 years new.
    Fun and fabulous Production.

      He's sort of the romantic supporting player in Leo McCary's Ruggles Of Red Gap (1935) with Charles Laughton, Zasu Pitts, and Charles Ruggles. It's very good.

    This delightful movie has an Ernst Lubitsch feel to. It's hard to find, but check out Lubitsch's 1932 masterpiece 'Trouble in Paradise'. It also takes place in Venice and has the same light tone and music as 'This is the Night'. Also both have Charlie Ruggles.

      I think that's Claire Dodd at 20:05, the girl that is told she has to take the job and turns it over to Lily Demita's character who I thought was Chou-Chou. I'm confused.. IMBD said that Claire Dodd plays Chou-chou, too.

    The opening scenes where everyone is talking in time with the music reminded me of the Munchkins singing in The Wizard Of Oz. In fact, the rest of the musical numbers also had that Wizard Of Oz sound. But that was okay with me.

    It was very entertaining although sad from the point of view of the girl. Okay, they made a sugary and unrealistic ending, a rosy one, that no one could believe, but that did not spoil the film. It was just quite impossible to believe that the girl would fall in love with that man older and not kind and not charming and not good-looking, a man with nothing to go for him. But as I said even that could not spoil the film. Bunny was very sweet and the girl too, and Grant was his usual never disappointing self.
