Madeira 73: a song in the cinema, talk at Quinta das Cruzes

Vítor Sardinha presents "Madeira 73, Uma Canção no Cinema" at the Museu da Quinta das Cruzes in Funchal on Wednesday 18 November at 15:00. The hour-long talk follows a 1973 film by the Spanish director Jesús Franco that included the Hotel Savoy orchestra, with Roger Sarbib and the singer Tony Cruz, whose song "Madeira Love" Franco heard while staying at the hotel. You will see the jazz scene shot at the Savoy, another clip and production stills showing Funchal locations, plus the tourism documentary "Madeira, Primavera Eterna" by Miguel Spiguel. The talk also recalls the bands that played the island's hotels at the time, from Reid's and the Savoy to the Sheraton, Holiday Inn and Madeira Hilton. Entry is free.
