Kiss Me Again

Kiss Me Again is a 1931 American pre-Code musical operetta film filmed entirely in Technicolor. It was originally released in the United States as Toast of the Legion late in 1930, but was quickly withdrawn when Warner Bros. realized that the public had grown weary of musicals. The Warner Bros. believed that this attitude would only last for a few months, but, when the public proved obstinate, they reluctantly re-released the film early in 1931 after making a few cuts to the film. Like the 1926 silent First National film Mademoiselle Modiste, Kiss Me Again is based on a popular 1905 operetta on Broadway, Mlle. Modiste, by Victor Herbert and Henry Martyn Blossom. Plot A French shopgirl (Bernice Claire) obeys her parents by leaving her lover to become an opera star. Cast Bernice Claire as Mademoiselle Fifi Edward Everett Horton as Rene Walter Pidgeon as Paul de St. Cyr June Collyer as Marie Frank McHugh as Francois Claude Gillingwater as Count de St. Cyr Judith Vosselli as Mademoiselle Cecile Albert Gran as General de Villafranche
