This movie from Fascist-era Italy is not a musical version of Giacomo Puccini's operatic masterpiece, but a dramatic narrative of the same story which originated with Sardou's play. Puccini's music does figure in, however, with strategically placed arias on the soundtrack. Argentina-born Spanish actress Imperio Argentina plays the title role with diva-esque aplomb. Rossano Brazzi is perfectly cast as the strikingly handsome painter and revolutionary collaborator Mario Cavaradosssi. Michel Simon steals the show whenever he is on screen, as nefarious police chief Baron Scarpia, who is out to apprehend all opponents to Papal rule in this story set in early 19th-century Rome.

DVD-R is in Italian with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 97 mins.  See film samples for sound and video quality!
