  The role of Violetta in la Traviata is one which Verdi might well have composed with Anna Moffo in mind. Possessing a singular beauty of voice and appearance the soprano succeeds brilliantly in fulfilling the composer's difficult musical and dramatic demands. It is especially fortunate that Miss Moffo's celebrated portrayal has been captured in Mrio Lanfranchi's cinematic treatment a sumptuously beautiful and emotionally powerful film.

  In this screwball comedy a group of Italians presents an opera concert in London with Scipa Gigli Caniglia Gobbi and Bechi. The singers play themselves with Bechi and Gobbi getting the most singing and screen time. The arias are fully staged vividly filmed with lots of closeups. With few exceptions the camera stays directly on the singers. The print is superb.
