NEW FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EUROPEAN FILM STAR POSTCARDS, MORE FROM IL CINEMA RITROVATO -- MESSALINA

.....a preview of a new restoration will be shown of Enrico Guazzoni's silent classic Messalina starring diva Rina De Liguoro. This spectacular epic premiered a hundred years ago and was an international success. Unfortunately, only a badly printed, sonorised version of the film was available for a long time. The notorious Roman Empress Messalina, the third wife of the Roman Emperor Claudius, has proved endlessly fascinating to writers, painters, sculptors and composers of both ballet and opera. She has been portrayed on screen from as early as 1910.  SEE AND READ MORE AT European Film Star Postcards: Messalina
