Night in May (French: Nuit de mai) is a 1934 French-German comedy film directed by Henri Chomette, Gustav Ucicky and Raoul Ploquin. It starred Käthe von Nagy, Fernand Gravey and Annie Ducaux.[1] It is the French-language version of UFA's The Young Baron Neuhaus. Such multi-language versions were common during the early years of sound film before dubbing had become more widespread.
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Walter Röhrig.
