It was the first film adaptation of Noël Coward's 1929 operetta Bitter Sweet. It starred Anna Neagle and Fernand Gravey, with Ivy St. Helier reviving her stage role as Manon. It was made at Elstree Studios and was part of a boom in operetta films during the 1930s. It tells the story of Sarah Linden's romance. Sarah, now a gray-haired old woman, tells her story to a girl who is on the eve of marrying an obnoxious man when she is really in love with a musician.[2] The operetta was remade in 1940 as a film of the same name with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy; however, it was less faithful to the original story than the less censored 1933 version.[3] Cast
ReceptionAccording to Wilcox the film made no profits. He later wrote "it must have been my fault, for surely a better musical play has never been written... perhaps, however, the story is rather too sad for a film."[4] References1. ^Elstree Versus Hollywood Film Citadel Challenged By Recent British ProductionsThe Times of India (1861-current) [New Delhi, India] 18 November 1933: pg 18. 2. ^{{cite web|last=Hall|first=Mordaunt|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9A06EFD61730EF3ABC4C51DFBE668388629EDE|title=Movie Review - Bitter Sweet - Many Stars of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Firmament In the Film Version of "Dinner at Eight"|publisher=Movies.nytimes.com|date=24 August 1933|accessdate=16 January 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jeanettemacdonaldandnelsoneddy.com/films/jmne-bittersweet.htm |title=Bitter Sweet (1940) |publisher=Jeanettemacdonaldandnelsoneddy.com |accessdate=16 January 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207055912/http://www.jeanettemacdonaldandnelsoneddy.com/films/jmne-bittersweet.htm |archivedate=7 February 2012 |df=dmy }} 4. ^Herbert Wilcox, Twenty Five Thousand Sunsets, 1967 p 96 External links
