What happens
Filomena Marturano is a 1950 Argentine musical film directed by Luis Mottura. A production of the classical era of Argentine cinema, it is based on the theatrical piece Filumena Marturano by the Neapolitan actor and author Eduardo De Filippo, which had been previously performed in Argentina with great success by the company of Tita Merello. It was adapted by Ariel Cortazzo and María Cruz Regás. It starred Tita Merello, again, and Guillermo Battaglia. Costumes were designed by Héctor Fernández Gómez. The film was remade in 1964 as the Italian film Marriage Italian Style (Matrimonio all'italiana). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
