When Naples Sings (1930 film)

When Naples Sings (Italian: Napoli che canta) is a 1930 Italian musical film directed by Mario Almirante and starring Malcolm Tod. The film was originally made in 1928 as a silent film but delays, including the addition of sound, meant it was not released for two years. It consists almost entirely of recorded Neapolitan songs[1] It was shot at the FERT Studios in Turin. The film enjoyed some success, and was distributed in seven South American countries.[2] It has been described as a "poorly made musical film".[3]

gollark: I think you could make that work.
gollark: Also, I meant sticking your node between A and B and just using A's connection for backhaul for B, not providing your own connection.
gollark: But you would have to pay for that.
gollark: (The alternative of paying per middle node... fixes some problems and introduces exciting new ones)
gollark: (Although that breaks horribly too, since you're incentivized to run 10000 middle nodes which funnel money to you for your own connection)
