Curiosidades

Pagliacci is a 1936 British musical film directed by Karl Grune and starring Richard Tauber, Steffi Duna and Diana Napier. The story was adapted by Monckton Hoffe and Roger Burford from the 1892 opera Pagliacci by Ruggiero Leoncavallo, with lyrics by John Drinkwater.

Production

The film was shot partially in colour, using "British Chemicolour", and partially in black-and-white. The film's art direction was by Oscar Friedrich Werndorff. The film was made by the independent Trafalgar Films at Elstree Studios. It was a very expensive production, with Tauber receiving £60,000, which turned into a costly flop on its release.

Caught up in the technical procedures of the colour sequences, Grune asked Wendy Toye to direct the actors for him.
