Figaro is a 1929 French silent historical comedy film directed by Tony Lekain and Gaston Ravel and starring Ernst Van Duren, Arlette Marchal and Marie Bell.[1] It is an adaptation of the 1778 Beaumarchais play The Marriage of Figaro, with material also used from its two sequels. It was released in 1929 in the US as a silent film, then reissued there in 1932 with an added music track, recorded by SpA Bixiophone, under the title IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA.
