Resurrection (Italian: Resurrectio) is a 1931 Italian drama film directed by Alessandro Blasetti and starring Lia Franca, Daniele Crespi and Venera Alexandrescu. The film was the first Italian sound film to be made, but the studio held it back from release and another production by the company, The Song of Love, was the first film to be released.[1] The film's production was troubled and it was not a commercial success.
