Figaro and His Great Day (1931)

Directed by Mario Camerini

Overview

In this delightful mixture of romance, comedy and music, the director turns back the wheel of time about sixty years and shows the audience an Italy of primitive railroads, high bicycles and the famous “dolce far niente.” Taking the visit of a traveling opera company to a small town, where it is scheduled to present “Il Barbiere di Siviglia” and where one of the most important citizens is a retired opera singer, the scenario writer weaves a web of merry complications well calculated to keep the spectators in a happy mood.
