straw hat triumphantly and comes forward, scolding her flabbergasted husband for his negligence. Nonancourt, who has heard of his son-in-law's good deed, appears in the window of the guard-post, shouting at last: "Everything's...settled!" Thanks to the good graces of the corporal, all the wedding guests are let out of the guard-post and embrace the beloved groom and deliver all over again. Beaupertuis, abashed and repentant, bows down to his wife and begs forgiveness, as everyone shouts: "She's got the hat, she's got the hat!" The day of adventure is over. Everyone can go to bed and the newly married couple can finally enter their house...to rest. Films and recordings Two movies of the opera have been made, both by RAI and initially for Italian television. Ugo Gregoretti shot the first in 1974 at Cinecittà; it was first broadcast in January 1975. Its celebrated soundtrack, recorded at RCA studios in Italy, was conducted by Rota himself and starred by Daniela Mazzucato (Elena), Edith Martelli (Anaide), Viorica Cortez (Baronessa di Champigny), Ugo Benelli (Fadinard), Giorgio Zancanaro (Emilio), Alfredo Mariotti (Nonancourt), Mario Basiola (Beaupertuis). It was originally released by RCA and has more recently been available on the Ricordi label (catalogue number 74321551092, with Mazzucato's name misspelled). Copies of the Gregoretti movie itself, quite rare to find, make collector's items, though the movie is preserved and was screened as recently as 2009 in Italy for IRTEM members. The second movie derives from a 1998 production at La Scala under the direction of Pier Luigi Pizzi. Bruno Campanella led a cast headed by Juan Diego Flórez, Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz, Francesca Franci, Alfonso Antoniozzi, and Giovanni Furlanetto.
