Star of My Night
Star of My Night is a 1954 British romance film directed by Paul Dickson and starring Griffith Jones, Kathleen Byron and Hugh Williams.[1][2] It was written by Paul Tabori from his 1957 novel Le Soleil de ma Nuit. It concerns a sculptor who becomes romantically involved with a ballerina. It was produced as a second feature by the Danziger Brothers, although it had a more established cast than many.[3] PremiseA jaded sculptor becomes romantically involved with a ballerina who gives him a fresh outlook on life. Critical receptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A novelettish story which at least has the merit of being thorough – no cliché associated with the situation is omitted. Playing and direction do nothing to improve on the dismally banal material."[4] A review in the Kinematograph Weekly was critical of the film's failed attempt to mix high culture with popular cinema considering it "cliché-ridden from start to finish, it'll exasperate the highbrows, and bore the lowbrows".[3] In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Gloomy, artily written drama."[5] Cast
