Das Lied der Sonne (The Song of the Sun) is a lighthearted musical comedy focused on mistaken identity set against a romantic Italian backdrop. The movie is directed by Max Neufeld, starring famous tenor Giacomo Lauri Volpi and Vittorio De Sica. An impresario, imprisoned for insulting an official, sends music student Friedel to Italy to negotiate with star tenor Lauri Volpi. Friedel instead meets and falls in love with his lawyer Paladino, mistaking him for the tenor.

This film provides a rare chance to see a world-famous tenor Giacomo Lauri-Volpi in his prime, performing both arias and popular songs. For film historians, this movie is a vital piece of the “De Sica puzzle” because it captures him at a crossroads between two completely different identities.
