Wikipedia article
'The Singer of Naples' (Spanish:'El cantante de Napoles') is a 1935 American musical film directed by Howard Bretherton and Moreno Cuyar and starring Enrico Caruso Jr., Mona Maris and Carmen Ro. It was made in Spanish by the Hollywood studio Warner Brothers. Unlike many other American Spanish language films of the era it was not a remake of an English language film.
It was the last of Warner Brothers's Hollywood-made Spanish films.Waldman p. 43-44. The increasing success of dubbing meant that it was less viable to make separate Spanish films, and in future it became more common for films to be made in a single English version and then dubbed into a variety of other languages for global release.
