Retrospectiva Alberto Cavalcanti

CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE (1944)

ENGLAND

Victorian comedy that evokes the rivalry of two singers, George Leybourne and Great Vance, and subsequent alliance of both against the owners of the theaters who want to jeopardize their careers. Champagne Charlie was the artistic name given by the public and the press to George Leybourne, born Joe Saunders in the mining town of Leybourne, and a singer in gambling dens and cabarets. Cavalcanti reconstituted London in the 1860s for this film.
