To answer Barbcard, I think the man @1.43 is holding the lady's reticule or clutch-bag for her during their dance. What's in his hand appears to be made from the same eau-de-nil satin as the evening gown.

Do you think she was thinking of countryman Rudolpho Valentino when she sang this? I am.

Yes, her life was all but joyous.

So great to see Sylva presented here even if I'm not the biggest fan of her timbre and often excessive vibrato. Thank you for the wonderful visual presentation, congratulations!

That man at 1:43 is MY kind of gigolo, but what is he holding in his right hand white kid glove behind the lady's back? Also could go for the PERLA man, at least for a minute or so.

Another lovely version of the Gigolo. I also recognized the guy at 0:38 as one of the Arrow shirts models. I can't pinpoint why, but these guys in the pictures do look like gigolos...

I just love this French version of Gigolo and your video is Magnifique! Grzegorz, Are there still handsome Gigolos around or are they extinct? I love that Gigolo at 1:40. Merci.

Isn't that a guy from the Arrow advertising campaigns? Moi j'aime celui a 1:00

Who knows....He is a very neat SHARP Gigolo. I love when a man has a beautiful shirt that fits his neck perfectly with a fine silk tie and this Gigolo is some snappy dressing Gigolo. I think he is wearing a Borsalino hat. :-)
