The Long Night is a 1947 American film noir crime-drama directed by Anatole Litvak and produced by RKO Pictures. It is a remake of Le jour se lève (1939) by Marcel Carné. The drama stars Henry Fonda, Barbara Bel Geddes, Vincent Price and Ann Dvorak. The title of the original French film is an idiom which translates roughly as “dawn is breaking”.


The Long Night was the first screen appearance by character actress Barbara Bel Geddes and it served as a springboard for Bel Geddes’s career. RKO signed Bel Geddes to a seven-year contract. According to Variety, the film earned less than $1 million at the box office. The film recorded a loss of $1 million.
