What happens
After Midnight (German: Ab Mitternacht) is a 1938 French-German drama film directed by Carl Hoffmann and starring Gina Falckenberg, Peter Voß and René Deltgen. It was shot as a German-language version of the French film Nights of Princes, produced as a co-production between the French subsidiary of Tobis Film and the producer Joseph N. Ermolieff. Such multiple-language versions were common during the decade. Both films were based on the 1927 novel Nights of Princes by Joseph Kessel. It was shot at the Epinay Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Alexandre Lochakoff and Vladimir Meingard. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
