Dans la nuit (film)

Dans la nuit (English: In the Night) is a 1929 silent film by Charles Vanel.[1][2] The film is a macabre drama about a disfigured worker who wears a mask to hide his face from his unfaithful wife. The producers imposed a happy ending on the film.[3] Louis Sclavis recorded a jazz soundtrack album Dans la nuit for ECM in 2002.[4]
