Title: Fascinating video for fans of Di Stefano
Review: Giuseppe Di Stefano was destined for a cinema career, but the studio he was engaged for burned down. In the end his film appearances were limited to this one film, made when he was already famous in the opera house. It is the last film of the tenor matinee idol genre (Gigli, Schipa, McCormack etc.) and has a very thin, absurd, and confusing plot including an Italian Sherlock Holmes. Di Stefano really appears as himself, in his own clothes and personality. The film is valuable for the three or four popular songs Di Stefano sings in his own inimitable caressing manner, when he was in his very best voice, songs not available in audio recording format.
