...Mine Tonight (Gaumont) is distinguished from most musical pictures of its type by a naive charm and the resounding voice of Tenor Jan Kiepura. Its story is a composite of almost all Alpine operettas. An opera singer, Enrico Ferraro (Kiepura) escapes his domineering female manager, goes off holidaying in a Swiss village.
