Passione: The Life of Enrico Caruso
Peter Rosen Productions, Inc. has purchased the rights to the non-fiction book, Enrico Caruso: My Father and My Family, by Enrico Caruso, Jr., and Andrew Farkas (Amadeus Press) for a television movie based on Peter Rosen's documentary on Caruso for the A&E Biography series which gained much critical acclaim when aired in October, 1998. The project is currently being set up with development funds from sources in Great Britain, Sweden, and Italy. This development project was among the four chosen as most promising from hundreds of submissions at the recent MIPCOM television market in Cannes. In the US, we are in the midst of talks with Francis Ford Coppola's American Zeotrope Television.
