The Love Express (German: Der Liebesexpreß) is a 1931 German musical comedy film directed by Robert Wiene and starring Georg Alexander, Dina Gralla and Joseph Schmidt. No print of the film is known to survive, and it is therefore a lost film.[1] It is based on the operetta Es lebe die Liebe by Alexander Engel and Wilhelm Sterk. It was one of a cycle of Operetta film made during the early sound era. A French-language version Venetian Nights (Nuits de Venise), also directed by Wiene, was released the same year.
It is sometimes known by the alternative title of Eight Days of Happiness. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ludwig Reiber.
