ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Marc Revere, an American TV singer of Italian heritage, travels to Italy in search of his jet-setting fiancée, Carol Ralston. Revere moves in with his comical and good hearted cousin Pepe Bonelli, a struggling artist who also befriends a beautiful young girl, Raffaella Marini, whom Revere had met on a train, and who develops a crush on him.

Revere, after some difficulty, lands a contract to sing in a fine nightclub, but misses his opening night due to unforeseen circumstances during a date with Carol. When Marc comes to the club later on to apologize, Carol’s male escort insults him and the result is a fistfight that damages a good portion of the club. A judge orders Marc to sing there for free until he has attracted enough business to pay for the damages.

This turns out to be a blessing in disguise, as Marc eventually decides Rafaella is his true love and that he will remain in Italy with her.
