About this release
A Venise, Georgia Maglia, fille d’un magistrat fasciste et Angelo, un souffleur de verre, doublent les deux vedettes d’une adaptation cinématographique de Roméo et Juliette. Très vite le jeu laisse place à la réalité et les deux jeunes gens tombent fous d’amour l’un pour l’autre. A l’image du drame de Shakespeare, leur passion est aussi tourmentée que menacée, en particulier par Raffaele, un malfrat.

Drama
Angelo, a glass-blower from Murano, and Georgia Maglia, the pretty daughter of a fallen fascist magistrate, are chosen to be the stand-ins for the stars of a film version of "Romeo and Juliet" being shot on location in Venice and Verona. It is not long before they fall in love and their romance parallels that of Shakespeare's timeless heroes. Indeed their union is threatened by the schemings of Raffaele, the Maglia family's dubious tout...
