One Night of Love is a 1934 American Columbia Pictures romantic musical film set in the opera world, starring Grace Moore and Tullio Carminati. The film was directed by Victor Schertzinger and adapted from the story Don't Fall in Love, by Charles Beahan and Dorothy Speare. In the relatively new use of sound recordings for film, One Night of Love was noted at the time for its innovative use of vertical cut recording, for which Columbia Pictures received an Academy Scientific and Technical Award. It also won the Academy's first Award for Best Original Score. Tullio Carminati (21 September 1894 – 26 February 1971), Count Tullio Caminati de Brambilla, was an Italian actor noted for roles in The Cardinal, One Night of Love, Music in the Air and El Cid. He also appeared in the movie Roman Holiday. At the age of 14, he toured America with his own company. He made his film debut in Italy, and was discovered by Joseph Schenck and taken to America in 1925. He also appeared on the British screen. Some films were Paris Love Song, Let's Live Tonight, London Melody and Sunset in Vienna. Grace Moore (December 5, 1898 – January 26, 1947) was an American operatic soprano and actress in musical theatre and film. She was nicknamed the "Tennessee Nightingale." Her films helped to popularize opera by bringing it to a larger audience. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in One Night of Love. In 1947, Moore died in a plane crash at the age of 48. She published an autobiography in 1944 titled You're Only Human Once. In 1953, a film about her life was released titled So This Is Love starring Kathryn Grayson. .
