Goodnight, Vienna (also known as Magic Night) is a 1932 British musical film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Jack Buchanan, Anna Neagle and Gina Malo.[1] Two lovers in Vienna are separated by the First World War, but are later reunited.

It was based on a radio operetta written by Eric Maschwitz.[2] It features the song "Good-night, Vienna". Wilcox reportedly cast Neagle, whom he would later marry and direct in many films, after discovering her by chance in a stage show.[3]
