There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever. When I was younger there was a theater called the Parkway (in Chicago) that showed such films. It was torn down (so it goes). So this blog is kind of my own personal Parkway. djg51qu@gmail.com I will post new films each Saturday.

Pagliacci - ópera de Ruggero Leoncavallo - Film by Franco Zeffirelli - 1982
Zeffirelli's 1982 film version of the Leoncavallo opera.
"Laugh, Pagliaccio, at your shattered love..."
A troupe of clowns regularly presents a comic version of a man being betrayed
by his wife - to a happy ending as the betrayed man is able to laugh the betrayal
off. Yet, when this happens within the troupe there is a tragic ending.
Please watch the film here:
