VARIETY LIGHTS

Captain, if I don't catch her, At least I have my wife

Who looks like a parrot, And even has an aquarium

Who saw my pretty, pretty, pretty Pretty parrot

Green, yellow, with a rolled beak She's so pretty, only for me

I've lost my goose, she was So beautiful...

When she ran she looked like a ball So beautiful...

But it doesn't matter... I'm happy enough if I catch her

... with my girl, she's crooked low, and her neck sticks out

She looks like a goose, pretty...

When she runs she looks like a ball She's so pretty, just for me...

Come here immediately, the hotel owner confiscated all the takings

- The hotel owner? -Yes - Who knows him? -Come here

Variety lights, shining like stars Because I love you so

The magic of love is in the heart

Variety lights, May you have love and happiness

This is happiness...

I had to give another encore, the audience loved me

- You are so fanatical - The audience must be satisfied

But how can you give my company's pay to a stranger?

We have the company's administrator who knows the code

I'm a stranger? You've never seen this face before?

- What happened? - The money was confiscated

Confiscated?

- Young man, you can't take my pay - Mine either

Sir, they've paid the debt, my friend here fed you for two years,

and after two years he hasn't received his pay yet

- It's a postal delay - A postal delay? Here's the rest

One moment, young man, I must be paid, I'm a national star

And I sweat blood up here and don't get a penny

Excuse me, but this is disgusting

How can we all go, dear sir?

- Why should I care? - You should care

- There's nothing we can do - You must be reasonable

I'm cancelling my contract, and I want my pay. I'm a star

You want your pay? Here

Get your hands off me, I worked even with a high temperature

- Yes, we have a fever - What do you want from me?

It's a debt we all have together, we all ate, you most of all

- Me? Me? - The money

- I don't remember -You don't? - I want my pay

Wretch

Wretch? Cuckold

Peace

Let me explain, director, don't go away, just one word

- Excuse me, are you the impresario? - What impresario?

We'll have to withdraw from our savings

No need for that

Take this

- What is it? - An aspirin for your fever

- Do I have one? - A little

The dog is hungry

- Don't throw yourself on me. - Who is touching you?

Write down your regrets

You write them, and say we don't have a penny

- When will you come back? - How should I know?

The train is arriving, come on

Master, master, the train

Alfredo, this is Righetto's bicycle

- Can you return it tomorrow? - Fine

- Thank you, bye - Bye

Come on! Damn that dog, damn it

Come on, hurry up, the train is leaving

I only have 10 tickets, you and the maestro have to stay in the toilet

- Really? - Damn

Are you the boss?

Look

If you want, I'll stay with you

This is my diploma

I danced for 70 hours. I had to stop

because the others did, but I wasn't tired at all

I won a prize for interpretive dance,

a little bit Indian

That's me in a bathing suit, I was elected the Beach Queen

You can't see well, but look

They wrote in the newspaper that I have legs like Maresca

Go back to your compartment, I'll join you in a moment

Let's stay here, we can talk easier

They did a good job giving you the prize

You have the most beautiful legs and I know what I'm talking about

I'm a talent scout

Show biz is hard, but I always had faith

You shouldn't do that, all I want is to get into show business

It's always been my passion, since childhood

If you don't want to help me, fine, I'll manage on my own, like always

I don't know how to say it but once I saw you on stage,

I felt I could trust you

I thought you would understand me,

that you could help me, at least in the beginning

I'm a fool, I was so wrong

My dear, theater is a very serious thing

- Is the ticket collector coming? - Spanzia and I want to breathe

If you would rather die...

- Hey, Remo, come here - What is it?

He wants money for the ride. The owner said nothing to him

We want respect, that's in the contract

Good man, didn't the owner charge you to take my company?

- No -Will you take us? - No

- What a mess - He'll tell you later. Get out

- No, I need the money - Don't you have any?

- Do you? - And how...

Well, I know a shortcut, in a half hour we'll be there

It's 3 miles. Tonight you'll dance the boogie-woogie

- What agony, this fat man - It won't end here, you hack

Are you moving?

Hey, look how pretty they are

That's my savings account, too

It's in both names, these are our savings

Look, it's better to change the subject before I get mad

How ungrateful. Our savings?

- 50 thousand... - You invested only 200

49 thousand and 800 are mine

And if it were the opposite? You have only given 200

Anyhow, we only touch it in 10 years when we open the market

- Sure, I'll be selling salami - Look, he's hiding something

But what's this bastard come to?

How beautiful these creatures have been

for a hundred years. Holy saints, holy saints

It's seems only yesterday I had my first communion

Yesterday...

I love you more, a mild sentiment

When will we get there?

In the divine cry, the silence of... Dante

Carletto, you're shameless

Stop it with those hands

I'll take off my shoes

A carriage

Are you going to town? Get on then, it's here for you

Miss, my company thanks you

Get on

Move it

You're very kind, thank you. May I? Melina Amour, artist

Valeria del Sole, artist. I'm here with my fiancee

Move over there a bit

Look at her

All aboard

How lovely, I'd love to be a dancer so much

Really?

I spoke with the director

- This one wants to be a dancer - What?

The director wants to make her a dancer

He's crazy

What kind of ideas did she give him

Who?

- Miss, there's a misunderstanding - I think so too

I understand your passion for show business,

but my company's administration can't take on more staff

- It doesn't have to -Of course - That's just what we need

No, no, why do you take her in? We're falling apart here

We share the pay already

And it's already not enough for us

But the director told me...

- What director? - Mr. Dal Monte

I told her

The girl has an artistic talent that should be encouraged

- It's not only your money at stake - Excuse me, then what is it?

I have been on stage for 30 years, and it's not

the first time I fired someone - Fired? Who exactly did you fire?

Look, I don't want to get paid, I'll work free for you

- And the food? -A place to sleep? - And the train?

But who is she anyway? What does she want? Who sent her here?

Go, go away babe. Come on, girls, let's go, take this stuff

Do you want to be a dancer? Stay home, as long as you have one

I wish I could

Right, get yourself a ticket back home, and go

How will I pay for the ticket? I don't have a penny left

Put it down

Commendatore, are you following the theater lights?

- Good morning, commendatore - What a pleasure

My dear commendatore, always so young

Long time no see. But you were always in my mind

Where is the company?

Oh Lord, here it is

But I wrote fifteen acts

Manager, manager of the company, the theater contractor

A pleasure

- This is the programme you sent me - Fine

- An international fantasy entertainer - That's me

- Melina Amour - Right there

Valeria del Sole, a possessed show girl

- Here she is - I am the king of songs

Francis and Denis, the tango virtuosi

That's Checco and his lady

- Liv, famous imitator - Checco's wife

- The audience favorite

Better to give up

You won't fool me anymore

The twelve dancers are seven. See you tonight at pay time

Sir!

He counted me, too

Come on guys, let's rehearse

Ungrateful heart

You took my life

It's all history

And you don't think of me anymore

Stinking audience

And it's raining

They're too tight, I've already tried them on

don't you see what you did? - The microphone? -Over there

What is she doing?

Shut up, the contractor included her in the show

And now everyone's in bikinis on the island of song and love

Sweet Molokai

Oh, sweet Molokai

I would never forget you The pearl of the Hawaiian islands

Over there, in the delight Of that blue sky

A song of passion... - I don't know the steps -Go

A harmony of love for you

I would like to be back there

Never leaving you again

You are the queen of my heart, A paradise of happiness

Hawaii

- What happened? - She was left there in her underwear

What have you done?

How do I know? My skirt was torn

You ugly fanatical parrot. This donkey wants to be in the show

- I won't go out there anymore - We'll discuss it tomorrow

But it's not my fault

You, it's your turn. Come on, hurry up

Now, "A mysterious girl" presented by the magician Edison Will

Get lost

Ladies and gentlemen, before the civil authority and soldiers

- I will now perform an experiment beyond science

And now, gentlemen, Loca Spazia will sing for you

"Beautiful dreamer"

What do these donkeys want?

It's my turn now, the show is saved

And now, everyone to Spain with Francis and Denis

Start playing "El Muchacho"

20 years in show business and this never happened to me

- Get lost - I am Melina Amour. The Melina Amour

- These ways aren't civil - Not civil?

"A REPEAT PERFORMANCE"

Don Pedrito, what a rich man What a husband

Oh mamma, mamma You know why my heart's beating?

I saw a handsome guy, I saw a handsome guy

Oh mummy, I'm so much in love

"AT GREAT REQUEST, THIRD PERFORMANCE"

Brava...

Ladies

Good evening...

- Who are you looking for? - Are you the girl's father?

Which girl? "I saw a handsome guy, I saw a handsome guy..."

- The husband?

- So where is her dressing room? - It's here, but wait

Liliana, a man's looking for you

- She's getting dressed - Who is it?

I am your fan, your biggest fan. Brava...

Could you ask your friend to accept a dinner invitation?

- I don't even know you - It's all right. May I?

Attorney Renzo La Rosa... this is Dr. B. Antonini, brilliant journalist

- The dancers of my company - A beautiful company

Marvellous show. Where is the girl? Here you are

- Agreed then? - Where?

Where? My place, at my den

- Alone? - Lf you want to bring... someone

I'd love to, of course

I'll write an article in my paper

We'll be out of the theater in 5 minutes. Good evening

- And who'll take me back home? - Good night

We'll all go then, young lady

- Where is the carriage? - I sold it

A little stroll is good for your appetite. And the rain stopped

Checco, wait for me

- What a beautiful moon - Well, guys,

the train is leaving at 7:35. Don't miss it

I'm hungry

We'll be there in five minutes

Slowly, slowly. You can slip here

This estate is so beautiful

Nice voice

Listen, listen to this passage

- I'm hungry - The theater was my vocation,

if I'd studied

- Is it still far? - No, a few more minutes

Be careful, don't be afraid

Watch out, daddy

Who's that? Where is he taking us?

He's taking us to the North Pole. I'll find a shortcut now

Don't move, don't move, are you crazy? Keep walking

My shoes are broken

Here we are

We've arrived

We've finally arrived

You'll see now, you'll see the villa. Our lawyer is great

Come in friends, come in, make yourselves at home, please

How beautiful this property is, it seems to be the Sforzesco Castle

Slowly...

Hey, Checco, we have drinks here tonight, have fun

I'll write an article

Do you know what women called me when I was young?

"Sun"

The Milanese women, however, used to call me "Dew Eyes"

A momento of this beautiful evening

Dear friends, it's very late

Please forgive us, but we have to go

- What? Why? - Are you the ship's captain?

So what? It's 3 a.m. We have to go to Rome to get a hotel

Hotel? But Mr. Renzo invited us to sleep here

Sleep here?

Yes, yes, there's room for everybody here

There are 8 bedrooms, 8

And if you feel sleepy, you can take a nap on that nice sofa

Do you hear that lovely waltz?

Excuse me, may I?

Please

What a face

Angry with me?

Why are you behaving like this? Have I done anything wrong?

It has nothing to do with me

Are you worried about me?

You are free

You're not my daughter. I can judge you on stage

I can say that you don't dance well because you don't

That you can't sing because you can't

Maybe in a while, with hard work I can set you up

as I've done with many other girls but then, after that...

you can do as you wish. I have no right, have I?

I'm going over there

Aren't you sleeping here?

No, I'd rather go over there, good night

- What happened? - Where?

Why are you here? What about her?

- Liliana is sleeping. - Sleeping...

You should've stayed with her...

- Why?

Because she's a young girl and we're responsible for her

I was the third wheel over there

and instead we can stay here together

I'm not tired at all

Checco, what a dinner

Hug me

Your hands are freezing, are you cold?

- Why were you the third? - Those two have an agreement

That one is a slut, my dear, worse than Valeria

Have you seen Valeria? What a woman

And the duke didn't know how to turn her down

He's so polite, I told him you were my husband

We'll get married sooner or later won't we?

What is it?

That? It's Mr. Renzo's door

He was down the hall, waiting for me to leave

It's not true

Good night to all dreamers

Excuse me, just a minute

- Where are you going? - Wait...

Listen, excuse me...

Excuse me... listen... Come here...

- What do you want? - Just one minute, come

- What...? -Come here - Don't move and leave me alone

- Quick - She's not the type, you're mistaken

Get lost

You're not getting in here. She's just a child, shame on you

Don't be ridiculous

- Who is it? - You ate here,

drank... what the hell do you want? For Christ sake

I ate, drank... I am a gentleman, I'll pay for all, how much?

- Clown - Tell me how much

Clown

Mr. Checco...

This beggar, ragamuffin clown

I have to take orders in my own house now

Out, everybody out

What have you done?

- Melina - I'm here

Checco, help me

- Good-bye - Good morning

Why do I work with this? I work in costume, my friend

It's so good to see you. I came just the other day. I'll call you

- He was one of my team - Really?

- Maestro, dear maestro - Who are you?

- I heard you're forming a company - Yes, good bye

May I introduce you: Liliana Antonelli, we are a team

- Please I'm talking to the lady - I'd like to show you some pictures

- Leave me alone. Understand? - All right...

Calm down. What kind of behavior is this?

Wait a second. Sir... dear sir

...just one word, please - Tomorrow...

Nice guy, you know?

Yes, we'll find a way for an agreement, no doubt about it

Everything will be set up just the way you want it

- Are you done? - One moment, miss

It's all right, so long as it stays on tonight

When will you be back tonight? I lock the door

- Give me the keys. You like it here? - It's nice

It's for me...

Hello? Mr. Checco?

I'm ready. Hurry up because it's getting late

I rented it for a low price but it looks very nice

Fine

What?

In 15 minutes, half an hour?

Did you talk to Parmisano?

- Well, did you or not? - Yes, of course

He'll come. They'll all come, it's a place for artists

In 20 minutes then

- Mr. Edmondo, I demand my suit now

- For God's sake - Don't you touch me

Don't curse and don't be a hero, I'm not a fool, tomorrow, tomorrow

Enough now! When you pay I'll give you the suit

- When will you pay me? - Leave it

Oh Lord

Wretch

I'm closing the motel, you'll see what I'll do to you

Cry, cry, baby, it's good for you

Cry

Good evening

Thank you

- Please

Is Parmisano here?

I can't say, there are so many people

- Would you like to order?

But I didn't eat, I thought we would eat here

Well, I ate already, order a small dish for yourself

Soup, appetizers, turkey steak,

oysters, pheasant, partridge?

Well... actually... something a bit lighter?

- Lobster? - That's it

- But the lobster... - Lobster... and wine?

- That one over there - Champagne

- And you sir? - Rhubarb cordial

Straight

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

My friends and I are actors, this is the truth

We've traveled all over, we were even in Belgium, England

We traveled all over, doing what we'll do here tonight

So if you like us, do this with your hands

I mean applaud, give us some compliments

It tastes just like soda

Waiter, bring me some beer without the foam

- Fine - So, is this Parmisano here yet?

One moment

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening

I present Cocoledo, the biggest world attraction

Cocoledo will say good evening to Caballeros

Cocoledo will say a poem of the great Carducci

- I love you more... Mum... - Are you making fun?

A penguin

- A penguin? - Where?

Cocoledo, it's not a penguin, it's a nice gentleman

- Do you like the penguin?

- Who do you like then? - The female penguin

- The female penguin? - Yes

The devil

- Shall we dance?

You said you knew many people, but instead...

They'll be here later

Down

See, what did I tell you? One moment

Sir, please

Sir, one moment please

Enough, you two. Come, Patrizia, let's dance

Yes, yes, we met already last September in Stresa

- Maybe - Are you an actress?

- Well, I... - I've seen you somewhere before

But I can't recall

I always have my head in the clouds

May I? Adelmo Conti

- Are you a movie actress? - No, variety, dance

Like our great Wanda I probably saw you there

- No, I've actually begun now. - Scotch, I've already had three

However, I won a 70 hour competition

Then they crowned me Beach Queen

You're beginning now, poor girl

You'll need help... I am Parmisano's partner

- What are you doing here?

Do you know Liliana Antonelli? You know that we... dear Adelmo

It's so nice to see you, it means that you're not in jail

Nice guy, always joking

Adelmo, let's get out of here, it's too hot

- Yes, we're molding here. Coming? - With pleasure

- Have you met Dal Monte the comedian? - The penguin? -The penguin

Maria, Luigino, Nadeli, Patrizia: my friends

Liliana won a 70-hour beauty contest on the beach

What a piece of a girl Checco found. Come on

She's not only pretty, she can dance, sing

I'm giving her a part and I wanted to talk to Parmisano. Could you?

Sure. I'll do even more for Liliana. Let's go

The cheque sir, please

One moment, I'm not running away, am I?

1,000, 250

- 200 lira, sir? - Keep it...

- No, 200 are missing. - Look for them

So, is there room for me?

No, we're too many already

Excuse me, have you seen the girl with two guys in a big car?

He came here, then he went left, he went that way

- Where did he go? - I don't know

- Thank you - You're welcome, good evening

- Great artist

What are you doing wearing this suit? Working in cabaret?

There's a party, they're waiting for me

Can I borrow 50 Lira in small coins?

I have to take a cab

What are you doing? A 48-year-old man

- 42- -45- -Fine

- Did you hear the gossip? - What?

- About what a fool Checco is - Who says so? -Everybody. Mostly me

- Jealousy - Wasn't Melina good enough for you?

- This is my business - She was honest, caring

She loved you, washed for you, cooked, had savings

All you needed was Liliana Antonelli. She uses you

Uses me? Come on

Listen to those who care about you, she's cheating on you

- What did you say? - She's cheating on you

- Repeat it - Cheating -You're wicked

You don't understand, she's a woman of class

She loves me. She should be respected. And you'll see

You'll all see our success. All over Italy

Go away, poor man

Mr. Checco, we looked all over for you

Your friend is nice, we had so much fun I don't know how to thank you

- He'll wait outside for us tomorrow - Open up

Will you call me? Good night

Come on

What are you doing? Mrs. Rosetta is sleeping now

Good

My child, what did you have in mind?

I've always respected you, do you think I'm a fool?

Look there, count them, They are 32 women

Each one prettier than the next and they all loved and respected me

they made a great fuss over me, and you... Give me that

I understand you, you're calculating

you're nothing but a cold calculating person

So I'll make my calculations. I did some things for you

Because I like you, I really do

So let's go then

Sure

But you...

So it's...

Did you understand what I said?

- Damn it

Wait, don't go like this, come up for a moment

Better?

If you need to hit me to release it, go ahead then

You don't wear a beret with this suit

You actually shouldn't have worn it in the first place

You're a nice guy, you know?

So did you conquest all 32 girls with this beret?

Don't get mad, I'm joking

I'm doing it because I care for you

It's my way, understand?

You don't have to be jealous of those who want to help me

You and I have a long way ahead

I know you were unlucky and that you're talented, very talented

Think of it, Mr. Checco, what a success

- Where? - Everywhere

We'll have shows in all the theaters,

with big signs, colored...

...with my name this high, and yours too, shiny,

on top of the theater roof, flicking on and off

And the theater is packed...

And I walk down the stairs, all covered with feathers

Look, Mr. Checco, I've got goose bumps

"Raining, raining over the thirsty dead trees, over the myrtle"

I'm an artist. So are you, you've got spunk, spunk

You'll see, you and I together, always. I will be the performer

I don't need anyone, I will form the company, I promise you

May I?

Good night

I'm going to rest a little bit

Yes, this is it, Liliana

I can feel it

Good morning...

I work with this. I wear a costume my friend. With this,

we'll debut in Rome, then Naples, then Salerno...

...to Pescara and maybe Sicily too. A great turn, right?

And the script... all French spirit, American stuff

- Who wrote it? - It's mine. It's all in my head

The title is "Stars and Sparks"

There's a fantastic part. Better than Beckett

Sure, but let's talk money now

Absolute news: no more salaries

Nothing, we'll be one society, a family

- Good-bye -Where are you going? - I'm leaving

- Who'll be the boss? - I will

What... well?

Waiter, how much is it?

I will pay for the coffee and I won't speak to you again

You want to form the company and make a dancer out of this cod?

You know what I say? Form the company with her

and don't mess with people who work

- Who's the codfish? - You know very well

The boss

You're a vulgar piece, but the end for you, my dear

As an actress you're dead

Even worse, you never started

40 years in business, 50 that they sneer at him

Huckster, wretch, beggar

Leave me, someone has to tell him the truth

Have you seen him on stage? "I bought a goose..."

You're nothing but a cheap courtesan

I will show you who Valeria del Sole is

Pretends to be the boss

Melina, what happened?

- I'm an artist and I don't want to compromise -What do you care?

What did they do to you?

Nothing, we just spoke

- Do you like it? - Nice

It was very cheap, I only paid 5,000 now, the rest next week

I had 3,000 left

Here, it's yours, for you

No, let me do that

Look at them.! Unbelievable

It looks beautiful

Very good

- And the company? - We'll do it

We'll do it. We have to

I want to see where he's sleeping, the owner locked his room

Mr. Edmondo!

Stop it!

Mr. Edmondo is sleeping, my dear, sleeping. Understood?

You don't pay, so you don't come into my house ever again

I'll report you for holding my belongings

It's no doubt against the law and against the constitution

You'll receive a registered letter in the morning

- Enough - Go kill yourself

Edmondo, mean man

What a district, what characters

Rascal

What are you laughing at?

- Beautiful - Here. Bad times for artists

- You, an artist? - Checco Dal Monte: Company boss

Come to my place with me

- Where do you live? - Rome is my home

All the squares, all the streets are mine

I'm homeless just like you

Granada, my love Sadness...

- Wilma! - Hi!

I'm staying with your sorrow and I don't care about life

This one's a great Brazilian artist: Wilma

I like to meet at night with people free like you, mad like me

In America, I was a chemical engineer

But I like music, so I came to Italy

This is my place, I feel free here

I can come here, go there, with no money,

like a swallow

- You play... - A very typical song

Let's hear it

My lemon, my lemon tree, I ask for a jacarand tree

Bravi...

We'll listen to the song for a while

...but lower your voice - Thank you

My lemon, my lemon tree I ask for a jacarand tree

One time with a tindo le-le Other time with a tindo

Tindo le-le, a promise An adventure starts

With a smile of love

The day is breaking The day is beginning

Enough, tramps

Tramps? We create art here

Sure, art

- Very good - Play more quietly

You two are mine, don't deal with anyone else, I'll book you

I know many great artists, all poor

Hungarian choreographer, a great Russian musician

A cowboy who shoots a tiny fly from a distance

- Where is that man? - He's at the hotel for the poor

The hotel for the poor?

Always the same, the best are always poor. Let's go

Enough with the usual professionals, conceited, pretentious

This is the time for unknowns. You'll be the stars of my new show

You are invited to the premier

Come, John

Good night partner, good night...

Great

- What do you want? - A friend

A friend...

Wake up, it's morning

You want to perform? There's a great manager

You are a lucky guy, show me what you know

Well done

I told you she's sleeping

Who is it?

Good morning, sleep well? I came early because...

I'm disturbing you?

I'm sorry but I met some wonderful people last night

I'm tired, can't you understand? Let me sleep please

- Who are they? - Those are the artists

This is John, he plays trumpet, listen to this. Come, play

And this is Billy, a pistol shooter

Nothing but international figures, it's a hit, the company is formed!

It's done, Liliana, it's done

Have you finished?

What is it?

Do me a favor and leave me alone

Talk to the landlord because the room here is quite expensive

I can't go on like this, she won't give you the keys

The toilet is always broken and I want to move to a hotel

- You want to move to the hotel? - Yes, why?

I think I've waited too long, I was at your disposal

I've done everything to help you, even rejected a proposal,

and I'm still at the same point without a penny

A proposal? From whom?

Leave it, you'll break it

Please, take those guys away

- Liliana, what's wrong? - Can't you see?

You should let me sleep, I came back at 5 a. M, I'm tired

You want to form a company but you'll need money, a lot

I'll find the money, Liliana

Napoleon

Giuseppe Verdi

Garibaldi

Voila

Girls, on stage

See what a darling? He's here for money

- Don't make a fool of yourself - Watch it, I don't want to see him

Let me handle it

I'm forming a company

Dear partner! Great show, great

How are you, friend?

- And Melina? The dressing room? - That one

May I...

- Come on - I have to talk to you

Speak, speak loudly so everybody will hear you

I have to talk to Melina, it's business, I'm forming a company

And Melina has to pay, right? Aren't you disgusted?

Go away

There's a misunderstanding, it's a deal, a capital investment

Go away, get the money from that woman

Melina, I'll be at the pizzeria with your father

I'm coming

That wicked idiot, what did she do to you?

Wasn't it better with me?

So why did you leave me?

I couldn't...

I don't know, I don't know, she bewitched me

Idiot. And why should I give you my money?

No, no, don't give it to me

Don't. I don't deserve it, I don't deserve anything

I'm a dead man anyway

It was my last chance and you know it, Melina

Because the theater means life to me, I was born and will die here

This company had to be mine. Everybody was against me

Envy, jealousy

In thirty years on stage, it had to be the decisive solution of my life

Melina, I have everything, you know: all the scenes,

and the black guy, and Buffalo Bill, and the script,

and I have to furl the flag because I'm a poor bastard with no money

I just need a small amount

Take it, but go away and don't show up ever again

You are great, Melina

I'll give it back to you, with the interest

My first profit will be yours, only yours,

because you'll take a part of my company, won't you, Melina?

Melina, look at this

Bill, the daisy

1, 2, 3, 4, stop, it's horrible, no good

There's no rhythm, this thing here is nothing

Please join in too! Again

1, 2, 3, 4...

Gentlemen

I present Liliana Lilli, the star of the company

Liliana, here is your company: Valeria, a magnificent soloist

Boema, a Brazilian gypsy

The famous maestro Dubrioski, a celebrity

Mucci, the Hungarian. The choreographer

Girls, the dance

Maria, Lucia, Rudi, Dedi and Tanio

Our Tanio, the golden idol, you'll see

- What is this stuff? - The company's poster

I've ordered some bigger, nicer ones

Don't you think my name should come first?

Yes

It should

Now let's start the rehearsal with "A Night in Paris"

In line, in line

Calm down...

770

771 Stupid morons. 1...

2... Stop. What is this?

Can't you raise a leg? Like the rest of Italy

You know nothing about art here

Again, please, 1...

He's a great Russian musician

What do you want from me?

I play what I feel like playing, got it?

- What does he want from me? - Calm down...

My contract says I can play whatever I want, right?

- Otherwise I'll drop everything - Try again

I am the choreographer, I always did what I wanted to

Dear sir, Dal Monte, it's a pleasure

I'm pleased to present you Torello, the producer of the Excelsior

He gives us the honor of seeing a rehearsal

Lilly is missing, she's the star, my discovery

I called... try again

- She left 2 hours ago - She'll get fined

Shall we start?

This way, please, come girls, we're starting

The Hungarian is really something

Gentlemen, I'll give you a brief explanation

This dance has meaning

There is a struggle between good and evil

- I'll go in alone - Fine, Liliana, I'll wait here

If you need me, call

What is this tired face? I passed night by night

I don't feel tired because I'm inspired by dance

But you have to change your expression

All the moves are wrong

Please, do it again... go... yes

Liliana, where have you been?

Get dressed, we have the general rehearsal, the theater man is here

Mr. Checco, I have great news

No, wait, do you remember our dreams?

Rome, Milan, Paris... I'm really going to Milan and maybe to Paris,

with Parmisano's company, I've just signed the contract

And it's all thanks to you, I could never thank you enough

I'm so happy, Mr. Checco!

Your friend, Mr. Adelmo is out there

He wants to talk with you about the fine

Shall I call him?

There won't be a fine

The rehearsal is going well, right?

I'll come here tomorrow to watch

Don't you have anything to say to me?

You did the right thing

Follow your destiny

Will you come to my debut?

Damn, I have to make these improvements

Girls, I can't see the fire, please

You have to be like a tree

Come over here, please... Come, right now

This is your position, please. Come on

- Yes people, please people... - Checco, what's wrong?

What is this child doing? Come here, please

Be careful, madam

She's coming. Move away

From here

Up...

Hurry up

Start the elevator, go

- Beast - I wish you'd fall

I fear that I still love you

Desperately, you're still In my heart

- It's this one? - Yes, it is

Good evening

18,19

How do they go?

- Take the cat - Thank you, dear

Which newspaper would you like?

Epola, Bis, Bolero and Today

Fine

Hurry. Get on, sir

- Sure? - Who'll give you that?

Finally

I love you, can't I love you?

Come on

Excuse me, is this seat free?

Do you want some coffee?

I'll get it from the maestro

What?

I didn't say anything

Sorry, I thought you...

Are you an actress?

Strange, you are just the type

I know what I'm talking about. I am a director

Are you?

I have a variety company

Pretty

Thank you

Very pretty
