Molto prima che Mario Merola
Molto prima che Mario Merola ne fosse indiscusso interprete nella sua “sceneggiata” in teatro e nella canzone napoletana, certo prima di una sua trascurabile versione cinematografica del 1980, questo film del 1950 è la vera opera prima, l’archetipo di tutta la storia. Diretto dal padovano Rate Furlan, sceneggiatore e regista di vari melodrammi sentimentali, questo “Zappatore” è anche conosciuto con il titolo significativo di “Rinnego mio figlio”. Lo spunto è ovviamente la canzone di Libero Bovio del 1929 dallo stesso titolo, classico indiscusso della canzone napoletana e il legame musicale con la successiva trasposizione cinematografica è peraltro confermata dal fatto che Furlan fosse un buon conoscitore di musica, popolare e colta, essendo lui stesso diplomato presso il Conservatorio di Napoli. Alla sceneggiatura partecipò anche il napoletano Roberto Amoroso, documentarista del dopoguerra e poi lui stesso regista di molti melodrammi cosiddetti “strappalacrime. Amoroso e' stranamente citato in alcune locandine come regista del "Zappatore", probabilmente perche' finanziatore di “Sud Film”, compagnia che produsse il film e che aveva una buona distribuzione nei teatri cinematografici del Meridione. “Zappatore” è dunque un tipico prodotto di cinema popolare e come tale la sua qualità complessiva va giudicata oggi. Il racconto è semplice e comprensibile a tutti, accompagnato da alcuni classici della canzone napoletatna, ma nel cast ritroviamo alcuni interpreti di valore come Gabriele Ferzetti, Valeria Valeri e la giovane Marisa Merlini (ancora qui doppiata). Girato nel 1949, il film ha anche una sua valenza neorealista dato che molti esterni campagnoli e rurali furono girati nella provincia di Benevento e a Montesarchio. La versione qui pubblicata è quella per fortuna, ancora non commercializzata, trasmessa dalle reti Mediaset. Speriamo che resti ancora cosi' disponibile e fruibile a tutti. Buona visione e buon ascolto!

Long before Mario Merola was the undisputed interpreter of this title, both in music and in theatre, certainly before a minor film version he played in 1980, this 1950 black and white film is the real first work, the archetype of the whole dramatised family drama. Directed by Paduan Rate Furlan, screenwriter and director of various sentimental melodramas, this "Zappatore" is also known by the appropriate title of "Rinnego mio figlio" [“I refuse my son”]. The starting point is obviously Libero Bovio's song of 1929 with the same title, an undisputed classic of Neapolitan tradition and the musical connection with the subsequent film adaptation is also confirmed by the fact that Furlan was a good connoisseur of popular and cultured music, being himself a graduate from the Conservatory of Naples. The Neapolitan Roberto Amoroso, a post-war documentary filmmaker and later author himself of many so-called “tearjerkers” melodramas, also took part in the screenplay. Amoroso is strangely mentioned in some posters as the director of "Zappatore", probably because he participated financially in "Sud Film", the company that produced the film and which had a good distribution in the cinema theatres of the South of Italy. "Zappatore" is therefore a typical product of popular cinema and as such its overall quality should be judged today. The story is simple and understandable to all, with famous Neapolitan songs that accompany the acting, but in the cast we find some valuable performers such as Gabriele Ferzetti, Valeria Valeri and the young Marisa Merlini (still dubbed here). Shot in 1949, the film also has its own neorealist value given that many rural and rural exteriors were filmed in the province of Benevento and in the little town of Montesarchio. The version published here is fortunately the one not yet commercialised on DVD, broadcast several times by Mediaset. We hope it will still remain so available (and usable) by all. There are unfortunately no English subtitles available for the film. Enjoy watching and enjoy listening!
