The Mystery of the Villa Rose

The Mystery of the Villa Rose (French: Le mystère de la villa rose) is a 1930 French mystery film directed by René Hervil and Louis Mercanton and starring Léon Mathot, Simone Vaudry, and Louis Baron fils.

A separate English-language version At the Villa Rose was made by Twickenham Studios.

Different sources disagree over where the French-language version was actually made, with one claim that it was produced at Twickenham as the first bilingual film in Britain.

[2] Alternatively it is suggested that it was made at the newly established Courbevoie Studios in Paris, in which case it could lay a claim to be one of the earliest French sound films.

[3] Britain had converted to sound faster than France so several French filmmakers went to British studios to make films for release in France.
