What happens

Canto de amor is a 1940 Argentine musical melodrama film of the Golden Age of Argentine cinema, directed and written by Julio Irigoyen. It is based on a tango with music by Osvaldo Fresedo. Carlitos Viván and Tino Tori, known for his comic Filomeno Chichipío persona, made appearances opposite Nelly Omar. It is believed that all copies of the film were destroyed; however, the Argentine film archive at the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken preserves photographs taken in the filming set.
