Pagliacci is a 1936 British musical film directed by Karl Grune and starring Richard Tauber, Steffi Duna and Diana Napier. [1] It is an adaptation in English of the 1892 opera Pagliacci by Ruggiero Leoncavallo.
The film is shot partially in colour (using the UFAcolor process) and partially in black-and-white. The film's art direction was by Oscar Friedrich Werndorff. The film was made by the independent Trafalgar Films at Elstree Studios. The film was a very expensive production, with Tauber himself receiving £60,000 for appearing, which turned into a costly flop on its release. [2]
Caught up in the technical procedures of the colour sequences, Grune asked Wendy Toye to direct the actors for him. [3]
