One Night of Love is a 1934 American romantic musical film directed by Victor Schertzinger and starring Grace Moore.Mary Barrett (Moore) is an aspiring opera singer. After losing a radio talent contest, she decides she's going to be an opera singer no matter what, and takes off to Italy. She struggles to find work and eventually settles for a job in a cheap cantina, where she is noticed by Giulio Monteverdi (Tullio Carminati), a famous vocal coach. When Giulio barges into her dressing room demanding that she move in with him, Mary naturally gets the wrong idea, but Gulio insists that he is not interested in any romance, and in fact had to fire his last protegé after romance got in the way of her singing. No, Giulio wants Mary to live in his house because she has the potential to be a great soprano voice, and he intends to devote himself full-time to developing her talent. Naturally, romantic sparks fly.Although many of the Hollywood songbirds of the day – Jeanette MacDonald, Deanna Durbin, etc. – were primarily actresses who could sing, Grace Moore was a legitimate opera star who made her debut at the New York Metropolitan long before she ever appeared in a movie.

Control Freak: Giulio, much to Mary's irritation. He demands and gets full control of her life while training her to be an opera star, right down to who she sees and what she eats. One scene has Mary getting annoyed when Giulio orders a sumptuous steak dinner at a fancy restaurant but only lets Mary have the peach Melba.

Lingerie Scene: When Giulio barges into Mary's dressing room, determined to sign her up as a pupil, she's wearing only a slip. She holds her dress up to her chest but he even gets her to get rid of that, saying "Drop that! It makes me nervous."

Anguished Declaration of Love: Giulio spends the whole movie saying that you shouldn't mix work and romance, but Mary's refusal to go onstage as Carmen leads him to most reluctantly admit that he loved her since he first saw her.

Produce Pelting: A rather unusual variation of this, as Mary, who is in full rebellion mode against controlling Giulio, does this to her own picture on an advertisement for her opera performance.

comment
Video Credits: Before the movie starts, a style that was much in vogue in Hollywood of the 1930s. Unlike many uses of this trope the end of the credits transit straight to the action, as Grace Moore's video credit is actually the beginning of the movie, with her singing a song on the radio.

Wax On, Wax Off: After moving in with Galuppi Mary spends weeks on end doing various exercises meant to strengthen her diaphragm and increase her lung capacity. Six weeks of calisthenics without singing a single note leads Mary to complain that she wants to be an opera singer, not a boxer.
