This will be a gift to my wife, so I am waiting to watch the whole movie, but I want to comment on your wonderful service. Your site was the only place where I could find this old classic from the 1950s WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
I watched several sections to check the DVD, to be sure it would play on my old equipment: audio and video quality are excellent. I'm looking forward to watching the movie with my family.

Gina Lollobrigida, Mario Bava ( Superb Cinematography ), this film has it all. A beautiful transfer and with English Subtitles. All that is needed now is a Blu Ray release with also the original English Audio as an option.

First rate print! I saw this film in a poorly dubbed version at the close of the 1950s. Indeed any dubbing is anathema. Now, at last, decently sub-titled in English! Thanks.
The film, of course, is charming romantic fluff and unlikely to bear any real resemblance to Lina Cavalieri's life but so what? It's a biopic, in Italian, directed by an old Hollywood hand. Lollobrigida looks superb and her singing voice provides stunning evidence of her operatic training. I have the songs on a French EP and on an Italian Timaclub CD tribute to Cavalieri but the sound quality on this DVD is even better. Thanks for making this neglected film available. And congratulations on such a speedy service!

Lollobrigida shines brilliantly here - a star turn. I'm only familiar with her work in four movies, and her acting impresses me as convincing, solid, if not top tier (Masina, Loren), except for this film wherein she displays absolute star presence in a grand production. It's that je ne sais quoi that divides mortal and deity. A particularly entertaining scene, for which I most value this film, is her sword duel with a diva nemesis.
