His Glorious Night is a 1929 pre-Code American romance film directed by Lionel Barrymore and starring John Gilbert in his first released talkie. The film is based on the 1928 play Olympia by Ferenc Molnár.
His Glorious Night has gained notoriety as the film that began the aging Gilbert's rapid career decline by revealing that he had a voice unsuitable for sound.
