Between Night and Day (Spanish: Entre noche y día) is a 1931 British Spanish-language mystery film directed by Albert de Courville and Fernando Gomis.[1] It was made at Walton Studios as the Spanish-language version of the British mystery film 77 Park Lane, which was based on the 1928 play by Walter Hackett.[2][3]
A separate French-language film 77 Rue Chalgrin (also directed by Courville) was also released.[4] Such multiple-language versions were common during the early years of sound. The only actor appearing in the film with a career in the English-speaking world was Helena D'Algy.[5] The Portuguese actress portrays the character played in the other versions by Betty Stockfold and Suzy Piorson. [6] It was one of her last-known roles before two Paramount British productions, respectively the same year and in 1933.[7] The rest of the cast included Alfonso de Granada, Gabriel Algara[8] and Jesús Castro Blanco.[9][2]
Fernando Gomis Izquierdo was assistant director and "director of dialogues" for this version.[10] The film was a United Artists production.[11]
The film was released in Spain on December, 21 1931[12] and was shown at the Teatro Lloréns, in Seville, in January 1932, for example.[13] It was theatrically distributed in Argentina in 1932.[14]
