In 1927, his novel Amy Jolly, the woman from Marrakech , was published, the film adaptation of which under the title Morocco 1930 founded Marlene Dietrich's Hollywood career in the USA . Another novel published by him in 1927 was titled Nell John. The novel of a young woman .
At the beginning of the 1930s, Vigny went to Paris and wrote there, again in collaboration with fellow authors, for international co-productions. The little-known film Bariole remained his only own production.
