One Heavenly Night is a 1931 American pre-Code film, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, released through United Artists, and directed by George Fitzmaurice. The film in now in the public domain as it was copyrighted on 20 December 1930 (Registration Number LP1842).
This film brought Goldwyn his worst reviews and largest financial loss ($300,000) since going independent in 1923. However, the profits from Whoopee! (1930) more than made up the difference.[1]
The film follows Lilli, a flower cellar and an opera star Fritzi, who has gotten herself into trouble with the law. Fritzi sends Lilli in her place when she’s forced to a rural town for six months. While there, Lilli falls in love with a local, who doesn’t know she isn’t Fritzi until the real Fritzi shows up
