Richard Gofe

This rare 1935 film (the title translated means "do not forget me") features Beniamino Gigli as, of course, an Italian singer who warbles his way through a touching love story. Features musical selections from "Il Trovatore" and "Rigoletto" as well as a lullaby and some Neapolitan songs, including the title tune. Distributed by New York's Bel Canto Society (an organization of hard-core opera buffs).

A man beset by creditors invents a fictitious partner

A young British woman, tricked into believing she was used during a whirlwind romance, marries a gentle widowed Italian opera star, whose songs she and her first love shared.

Le film, comme le titre l'indique, est une biographie du peintre hollandais du XVIIe siècle, qualifié de « plus grand peintre de tous les temps » dans le texte qui défile à l'écran en guise de préambule.
