A fairy-tale balI, first kisses, broken hearts, and a beautiful princess wooed by a handsome prince. So much can happen during One Romantic Night! Two great ladies of the screen who couId scarcely be more dissimiIar - waiflike, vulnerable LiIlian Gish (in her TaIkie debut), who excelled at heart-wrenching melodrama, and barrel-figured, bulldog-faced Marie DressIer, who excelled at everything - make a marvelous team as a monarchiaI mother and daughter in a romantic comedy about Iove and marriage among the crowned heads of Europe. Based on Ferenc Molnar's pIay The Swan, the film was remade in 1956 featuring Grace Kelly in Gish's roIe, just before she became the reaI-Iife Princess Grace of Monaco. |
