La chanson d'une nuit (1933)

La chanson d’une nuit: Directed by Pierre Colombier, Anatole Litvak. With Jan Kiepura, Pierre Brasseur, Charlotte Lysès, Magda Schneider. Opera singer Enrico Ferraro, tired of his too many engagements, jumps off the train escaping from his manager and changes to another going to the Riviera. He makes a friend and stops at a village, where (it seems) he can at last have some well deserved holidays, with the added interest of meeting a beautiful girl in the surroundings.

“Any western that stars Sam Elliott is usually a good one. Few people have ever looked and sounded more like a cowboy than Sam. Also, most westerns feature beautiful landscapes and overall photography, and this film is no exception. Being made-for-TV, it could have been made on-the-cheap but it wasnu0026#39;t. I am not a fan of Ted Turner but his TNT westerns look beautiful, all of them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eElliott plays a lower-key role than usual, being an appealing sort as a loving father and husband and a good-guy marshal. This western is a bit different in that the time period is the early 1900s with automobiles and such dotting the landscape.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is not a lot of action in here and not an especially happy ending, either, but itu0026#39;s a good western that worth you while to check out.”
