Martha Eggerth heads the cast of Casta Diva, but the central character is famed Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini, here played by American actor Phillips Holmes. Paying but scant attention the facts, the film concentrates on Bellini's colorful love life. Evidently the film went through several rewriting processes, as witness the curious performances of Donald Calthrop and Arthur Margetson, whose characters do complete about-faces halfway through the story. Amidst so many British accents, Martha Eggerth's Polish intonations seem out of place, but she photographs beautifully and sings quite well. Casta Diva was attractively filmed on location in Naples. Not to be confused with the 1954 remake (by Gallone himself) or to the English language version "The Divine Spark" (also directed by Gallone and starred by Eggerth).

L'amore e basta looks at the relationships of nine gay and lesbian couples. How can one love, today? The answers given by Stefano Consiglio and the couples he met in four European countries are scandalously normal, simple like the feelings of a group of children who open this story of many voices. Can homosexual love be lived in the harmony, clarity, contradictions, passions and duration that have always been common models in speaking of feelings? The incredible naturalness of the subjects in the film is powerful and destined to leave an impression on our reflections. As are the shame of marginalization, fear and diffidence of which Aldo Nove speaks in the brief novella that precedes the life stories that weave the plot, in between the explosions of color of Ursula Ferrara’s animated designs.
