Guido Marchi, a journalist wishing it to be restored, decides to organize a show in which great names of the Italian opera will appear, deceitfully using Carlo Scala's restaurant as collateral to get the loan so as to organize the show. Despite formidable, self-interested opposition he will finally realize his goal, and he will manage to marry the one he loves. Written by Guy Bellinger CORRECTED BY ERIC ROTHSTEIN See less
