One Night with You is a 1948 British musical comedy film directed by Terence Young and starring Nino Martini, Patricia Roc and Bonar Colleano.[2]

Plot

A famous opera singer engaged for the lead in an Italian movie loses his identity papers and is stranded at a railway station with a young British woman.

Cast

Critical reception

The New York Times called it "a limp, tedious and transparent farce hardly worth all the strenuous histrionics and singing...One Night With You, in short, is a long, dull time";[3] whereas, more recently, the Radio Times called it "An occasionally diverting British-made comedy, enlivened by a supporting cast that includes Bonar Colleano, Stanley Holloway and the soon-to-be great stage actress Irene Worth."[4]

Box Office

The film earned producer's receipts of £53,700 in the UK and £9,500 overseas.[1]
