¡Mujer, tú eres la belleza! (1928)

Overview

¡Mujer, tú eres la belleza! [Woman, You Are Beauty!] was a silent film made in Rosario, Argentina. Premiered on 24 March 1928 in one of the city's most important opera houses, with a live orchestra and a model posing on stage, it became a box-office success. (The same would happen in Buenos Aires, where the film was shown a few months later). Its creator, the Italian-born Argentine Camilo Zaccaría Soprani, was a well-known entertainment journalist in the city. But he would only acknowledge his authorship in an interview forty years later. Most of the film is lost. Only a ten minute fragment survives.
