His Glorious Night is a 1929 pre-Code American romance film directed by Lionel Barrymore and starring John Gilbert in his first released talkie. The film is based on the 1928 play Olympia by Ferenc Molnár.[1][2]
His Glorious Night has gained notoriety as the film that began the aging Gilbert's rapid career decline by revealing that he had a voice unsuitable for sound.[3]
