Star of My Night is a 1954 British romance film directed by Paul Dickson and starring Griffith Jones, Kathleen Byron and Hugh Williams.[1] An adaptation of Paul Tabori's 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.[2]
Premise[edit]

Critical reception[edit]
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]
