La canzone dell'amore

it's really interesting the documentary side of this Righelli's work. In fact, after a few seconds with the screen black, the director, accompanied by the song which gives the name to the movie, begins filming some among the most beautiful monuments, churches and statues placed in the "eternal city". Unfortunately the main actress is terrible: her way to act is full of "birignao" typical on actress of that period. But Righelli let us know who learned very well the Russian lesson (Vertov among all): You can see especially in the sequence in which the young woman, after they took off away his son, thinks to commit suicide seeing the camera that goes down along the building from the roof to the street. If you ever have the occasion to see it, do it!
