Truffaldino from Bergamo

Truffaldino from Bergamo (Russian: Труффальдино из Бергамо, romanized: Truffaldino iz Bergamo) is a 1976 Soviet two-part television romantic comedy musical film directed by Vladimir Vorobyov, based on the play Servant of Two Masters by Italian writer Carlo Goldoni[1][2] and featuring music by Alexander Kolker.

The film follows a commedia dell'arte format around the quick-witted Harlequin Truffaldino as he is caught up in a love story between two Turinese fugitives in Venice.

Beatrice disguises herself as Federico to pursue Florindo to Venice as he flees the Turinese authorities, and she hires Truffaldino from Bergamo as a manservant after his slapstick antics help defeat a troupe of bandits.

Beatrice attempts to comfort the heartbroken Clarice, eventually revealing her identity upon extracting a vow of silence, however when Clarice remains doubtful and Beatrice begins removing her shirt to prove her sex they are intruded upon by Pantalone, who mistakes the couple for being in love and proclaims their wedding to be the next day.

Beatrice prepares to commit suicide out of grief and is only stopped by Florindo after he hears her lament through the wall and the couple is finally reunited.
