The Mystery of the Villa Rose (French: Le mystère de la villa rose) is a 1930 French
Louis Baron fils.[1]
Production
The film is based on the 1910 novel bilingual film in Britain.[2] Alternatively it is suggested that it was made at the newly established Courbevoie Studios in Paris, in which case it could lay a claim to be one of the earliest French sound films.[3] Britain had converted to sound faster than France so several French filmmakers went to British studios to make films for release in France. Another French-language version of a Mason novel La Maison de la Fléche, was also shot at Twickenham during the period.
