Wikipedia article
'The Little Nightingale' (Spanish:'El pequeo ruiseor') is a 1956 Spanish musical film directed by Antonio del Amo.
It was the first film to star child singer Joselito. It skyrocketed him to fame. The film is the first of a trilogy dubbed triloga del ruiseor. It was followed by 'Saeta del ruiseor' (1957) and 'El ruiseor de las cumbres' (1958). The success of the films allowed del Amo to set up his own production company Apolo Films with studios on the outskirts of Madrid.D'Lugo p.118
