Guido Contini submits that the flops aren’t hits Because no one is willing To film a romantic spectacular That’ll use the vernacular. And he says furthermore that the present’s a bore, But historically speaking, more interesting subjects are myriad in a period. Period! Contani contends that the past Makes the present look dull and half-assed. Let other directors Investigate sectors of image and meaning Once commonly thought of as current, ‘Cause they aren’t-and weren’t. Contani suggests That today’s not the best, But that yesterday’s better And ‘longer ago is still betterer. Et cetera, et cetera. And now i have found the right location That perfectly suits this new creation, A picture so broad and serpentining , That it will contain a world of meaning. And it’s’ already here in front of my nose. This is the answer to what i propose. Venice by’ day-venice by night, Right where i am is terrific’ly right. (Speaks) Everybody on the set for rehearsal with lights! Curtain opens to reveal the Spa people as Guido’s Venetian Company. Luisa sits watching; Guido throws her a kiss.
