Wikipedia article
'Saluti e baci' is a Franco-Italian comedy-drama film directed by Maurice Labro and Giorgio Simonelli and released in 1953.
Synopsis
In a village in Italy, a radio presenter, Carlo Mastelli, loses his hearing, and passes the microphone to Marina, the young teacher, who suggests launching an appeal whereby all listeners send postcards from their country to Tonino, a young student in danger. Artists and celebrities, mostly from Italy and France, take part in the appeal, and a number respond, which at the same time boosts the show's ratings, and brings great happiness to Carlo.
Commentary
'Saluti e baci' or 'Love and Kisses', is a film which deals with charity appeals a long time before the humanitarian appeals of Band Aid or Chanteurs Sans Frontires of the 1980s. In the film, a group of singers get together en masse to help those less fortunate than themselves, something which would later be seen in the Enfoirs who formed Les Restos du Cur.
