Night in May ({{langx|fr|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.{{cite book|last=Gilles|first=Christian|title=Vers le front populaire 1933–1936|publisher=L'Harmattan|year=2002|page=128|isbn=978-2-7475-2600-5}} 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 became more widespread.
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Walter Röhrig.
Plot
Baron Neuhaus is in charge of police matters at the court of Maria Theresa. He is tasked with searching for a man who gained access to the home of Countess Christel. But the case is actually about himself, who entered the residence to thank the Countess's maid.
