GIVE US THIS NIGHT - 1934 - JAN KIEPURA - RARE DVD
Product Description
Charismatic Polish opera singer Jan Kiepura made his Hollywood debut in Give Us This Night. His thick Slavic accent notwithstanding, Kiepura is cast as Italian fisherman Antonio.
In the habit of singing as he fishes, Antonio catches the attention of opera diva Maria (played by real-life operatic soprano Gladys Swarthout, in her second film appearance). Our hero ends up replacing Maria's burned-out leading man Forcellini (Alan Mowbray), leading to a series of duets and, naturally, romance.
The highlight of Give Us This Night is the climactic operatic adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, composed by the legendary Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
CAST: Jan Kiepura - Antonio Gladys Swarthout - Maria Alan Mowbray - Forcellini Philip Merivale - Marcello Bonelli Ben Baker - Tomasso Michelette Burani - Francesca William Collier, Sr. - Priest Sidney Toler - Carabiniere John Miltern - Vincenti
