"Oscar" Opening bit (LARGO AL FACTOTUM)

[@TheVillageCarolers]

I'm glad so many of you love this. I can tell you from personal knowledge, this is Earle Patriarco singing, and he was VERY young to be singing this aria at the time. He was in his late teens or early twenties. He said they used the take where he was completely worn out and tired, which tells you just how talented he is. He's the best.

[@donnap322]

Yes.. he was very young.... I think 19.. we worked together at Miceli's in N. Hwd Know him and adore him.. I sang at his wedding reception.. Again, really care about him and haven't seen him since he went to the Met.

[@OurOldTimer]

It is a great family favorite.

[@DataDrain02]

So, odd story. I saw this intro as a child. And for the longest time, I did NOT know where it was from.... Knowing little kid me. I probably only watched this intro, then went back to.... Whatever toddlers do.... I FINALLY decided to try and find this, just because the memory was bugging me. And... it feels so cathartic to finally find it. Thanks for uploading this.

[@celadon6554]

I saw this movie one night in TV while I was sick and I never saw what it was called but I loved it. Now I can watch it again. THANK YOU INTERNET!

[@gamingclub8952]

The movie was a flop and Stalone concluded he would never do comedy again because of it. Having said that, I LOVE THE MOVIE. I thought it was so well done and very funny. It was one of my dad's favourite movies before he passed and always has a special place in my heart because of that.

[@kpete9219]

So cool on the best movie EVER!

[@vickyzelaya9158]

Awesome song and movie!!

[@SauraElanthier]

People always eyeroll at me when I tell them this movie is a comedy with Sylvester Stallone in it, but I have to force them to watch it for them to start rolling in laughter XD

[@jessicasnustad2162]

SAME!!! Lol

[@dylanmauldin3174]

Underrated CLASSIC!

[@thomasking5472]

This is one of my favorites. Tell them it's a comedy with Marisa Tomei and Tim Curry. Stallone is the straight man in a world of crazy.

[@fairleebizarre]

love love love oscar. one of my top 10 favorite comedies.

[@thebluedragon07]

this is one of my favorite movies from the 90's, for it brings back good memories of when I was young.

[@kukapotyi1980]

This movie is very good and even the music fits in with it.

[@bohakasha]

Just watch the movie 2day. Gosh it sure brings back memories. Loved it when it came out, love the acting and comedy.

[@EsenHanIm]

i agree, this is head n shoulders above any! rendition. earle patriarco, u da MAING!

[@JohanStarDragon]

Given the context of the film there is real irony in the use of this particular classical piece. Such as how there are a couple of lines in this area that talk about how the Barber of Seville (Figaro) is being called left, right and center by so many people. Old men, young men, women, children and soon. Basically everybody wants a piece of him. Just like what happens in the movie Oscar, the day "Snaps" Provolone (Sylvester Stallone) goes straight, EVERYBODY wants a piece of him. Thus the reason why this one section in the aria is so palpable: Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, ecc. Ahimè, che furia! (Ah what a frenzy) Ahimè, che folla! (Ah, what a crowd) Uno alla volta, per carità! (one at a time, please) Ehi, Figaro! Son qua. (Hey Figaro! I'm here) Figaro qua, Figaro là, (Figaro here. Figaro There) Figaro su, Figaro giù. (Figaro up. Figaro down)

[@goofeymaloofey]

Oh my gosh! My favorite movie for all the layers to it...JUST. GOT. BETTER!! Thank you for sharing the lyrics in English! Sooo much more fun!!

[@ΧριστίναΑποστολίδου-ι3υ]

StarDragon77 thank you for the information and the translation!

[@sahej6939]

but that's not IRONY!

[@Killstorm9000]

such great music. this is the best version i have ever heard of this opera.

[@ROCKINGJAGUAR]

BRAVO!! BRAVISSIMO!! MAESTRO!! This is by far the best Largo Al Factotum version ever!! Great claynimation job, too!!

[@Braziliense1984]

Gioachino ROSSINI - Aria "Largo al Factotum", from the opera "il Barbiere di Siviglia" (The Barber of Seville)

[@Braziliense1984]

Let me explain: Mozart made the opera "la nozze di Figaro" (the wedding of Figaro). It's different from this song here. This is "Largo al Factotum" from the opera "il barbieri di Siviglia" (the Barber of Seville), composed by Rossini. 'Figaro' is the name of the barber. Lardawan is right, but he's not polite.

[@zsoltkiss545]

@Braziliense1984 Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais's The Marriage of Figaro was very popular at the time: between 1782 and 1816, there were at least four adaptations, including versions by Paisiello, also from Naples, and Mozart. Rossini also adapted it, in 13 days

[@karaj2012]

my favourite film and i love figaro as well :D

[@colonelgoodstep]

FANTASTICO !!!

[@SouthJerseySam]

Can't help but feel like this was inspired by George Pal's Puppetoons

[@Braziliense1984]

Man, really, really thanks for this upload!! I love this song and the movie is great. Years ago I tried to find this movie just because of this opening! But it's really difficult to find old movies here in Brasília. And now I've found it here. Thnks bro!

[@domcort]

Una de mis peloculas favoritas de atallone. En casa era una broma el Finuchisss!!!

[@Braziliense1984]

No. Actually Mozart wrote "La Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro). That's a completely different work from The Barber of Seville (here, Figaro is the name of the barber)

[@superdani152003]

THANK YOU! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

[@Calamitaj]

Grandissimo Figaro!!! Grandissimo Snaps Provolone!!!

[@MrGHz]

INDECENTE!!! :)))

[@rev115spikafrever]

WOW! I use to record this opening alone on VHS when some channel showed this movie on tv. I think I recorded back sometime in the 90s. It didn't record the whole thing unfortunately est gdfgf.

[@Jay_76]
