(The Merry Widow, USA 1934) directed by Ernst Lubitsch, starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald and Edward Everett Horton, black and white, 99 min., 35mm, original version with Italian subtitles

The government of a small country fears that the hugely wealthy widow who owns almost all of the nation’s assets may remarry and take her money abroad, so they despatch a young officer to Paris with orders to make her fall in love with him… Lubitsch is very much at ease with Franz Lehár’s masterpiece, producing a jewel of entertainment, mischief and irony chiselled, as ever, with sublime formal mastery.

Film introduced by La Farfalla sul Mirino to mark the association’s 20th anniversary
