The film was originally made in 1928 as a silent film but delays, including the addition of sound, meant it was not released for two years.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]
