This Is the Night

Newly Added • 1h 18m

Directed by Frank Tuttle • 1932 • United States
Starring Lili Damita, Charles Ruggles, Roland Young

Cary Grant makes an immediate impression with his film debut in this delightfully naughty romantic romp. He is the javelin thrower whose unexpected early return from the Olympics sets off a string of complications for his unfaithful wife (Thelma Todd), who had been planning a romantic getaway to Venice with her lover (Roland Young) in his absence. Lili Damita and Charles Ruggles costar in this sparklingly funny bedroom farce that could only have been made before the enforcement of the Hays code.
