"Bright Lights" is a 1930 musical comedy film photographed entirely in Technicolor. It was released late in 1930, but was quickly redrawn 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.

=Plot=A successful actress (Dorothy Mackaill) is about to marry a rich man instead of the man (Frank Fay, another actor who is a close friend of hers) she really loves.

Preservation

Only a black and white copy of the cut print released in the United States in 1931 (with some of the musical numbers cut) seems to have survived. The complete film was released intact in countries outside the United States where a backlash against musicals never occurred. It is unknown whether a copy of this full version still exists.
