What happens
On Such a Night is a 1955 British short semi-documentary film directed by Anthony Asquith and starring David Night, Marie Lohr and Josephine Griffin. It was written by Paul Dehn. The film offers a snapshot of the Glyndebourne opera house in the 1950s, including extracts from Le nozze di Figaro, and a fictional first visit to the opera house by an American. According to British musicologist Rodney Milnes the film was "very discreetly aimed at potential American audiences fascinated by British eccentricities". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
