1930 film
The Song of Love (Italian: La canzone dell'amore) is a 1930 Italian romance film directed by Gennaro Righelli and starring Dria Paola, Isa Pola and Elio Steiner. It was the first Italian talking film.[1][2] Alessandro Blasetti's film Resurrection was actually shot first, but delays meant that it was not released until 1931.[3]
The film was first publicly screened on 7 October 1930 at the Supercinema in Rome. The story was based on a novella by Luigi Pirandello, In Silenzio.
The film was shot at the Cines-Pittaluga studios in Rome in three different versions: Italian, French and German using different casts and directors.
