A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night is an album of classic 20th century standards performed by Harry Nilsson and produced by Sinatra arranger Gordon Jenkins. This album is notable in being a standard's album produced decades before standards albums started to become popular. The album met with modest chart success but is often regarded as the finest example of Nilsson's virtuosic singing. The title is an allusion to Shakespeare's Henry V, Act 3 Chorus.
