“One Night of Love”
'PHIS is what a northern critic wrote about Columbia’s “One Night of Love”: “With its feast of glorious singing, its charming story, and the finished acting of all its principals, the Columbia film, “One Night of Love,” will undoubtedly stand out as one of the finest musical films yet shown in Auckland. Grace Moore, the brilliant Metro politan Grand Opera prima donna, reveals a personality which would win her an important place even without her voice, but the combination of beauty and charm, with thrilling singing, places her in a pre-eminent position. .Nothing more unlike the traditional prima donna could he imagined than this unassuming and graceful young woman whose acting invested with deft touches of humour, was throughout excellent .... Technically the production breaks new ground. A special system of recording by which the sound is first caught on wax and then transferred to the celluloid strip, ensures a life-like reproduction, particularly of the singing voice.
