Les noces vénitiennes
(a.k.a. Venetian Honeymoon,
a.k.a. La prima notte, 1959)
Thanks so much, Mikayel, for contacting Constantino.
And thanks
so much, Constantino, for recording this movie for me!!!!!
Back in Venice for two months, Brass worked as assistant to
Brazilian-born British documentarian Alberto Cavalcanti,
who somehow ended up directing this French comedy, which
was briefly released in the US (Venetian
Honeymoon) and in Italy (La prima notte), but
then seems to have vanished for the next half-century.
The rights, or perhaps only the French rights, are currently owned or licensed by
Gaumont.
