Dreaming Lips (1937 film)

Dreaming Lips is a 1937 British drama film directed by Paul Czinner and starring Elisabeth Bergner, Romney Brent and Raymond Massey.

[1] The wife of a violin player in a famous orchestra, falls in love with her husband's friend and, tragically, drowns herself.

It was a remake of the 1932 German film Dreaming Lips also directed by Czinner and starring Bergner which had been based on the play Mélo by Henri Bernstein.

In 1953 Josef von Báky remade the film in Germany, based on the original script by Czinner and Mayer.

[2] Writing for The Spectator in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film a mixed review, describing it as "a shapely piece of sentiment" with a story "neat and plausible, the acting refined, the photography expensive".
