La Femme d'une nuit ("The woman of one night") is a 1931 French drama film directed by Marcel L'Herbier.
It was made simultaneously with Italian and German versions of the same story, which were however not only in different languages but in different genres.
In 1930 Marcel L'Herbier was asked by the producer Mario Nalpas to go to Berlin to make a film based on a novel by Alfred Machard.
[3] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Boris Bilinsky and Pierre Schild.
[3] Before the French version could be released, the producer Nalpas was forced to sell his rights in the production, and in the resulting financial confusion the film received very little commercial release.
