La Nuit américaine is a 1973 French film directed by François Truffaut. It stars Jacqueline Bisset and Jean-Pierre Léaud. In French, La Nuit Américaine ('The American Night') is a technical process whereby sequences shot during the daytime are made to appear as if they are taking place at night. In the English-speaking world the film is known as Day for Night, which is the equivalent English expression.
The film is often considered one of Truffaut's greatest films, and indeed one of the best films ever made: for example, it is one of two Truffaut films that feature on Time Magazine's list of the 100 Best Films of the Century, along with The 400 Blows.
