There's not so many things I can say about it. My favorite opera because of the dramatic and romantic story with the incredible romantic music of Puccini, three strong characters create a matchless atmosphere. Ruggero Raimondi is excellent with his performances on vocal and acting, Angela Gheorghiu have a "dolce" voice and she uses her face good enough but she uses her body some exaggerated in some parts, Raimondi and Gheorghiu are also very suitable physically for unmerciful Scarpia and beautiful Floria Tosca. Roberto Alagna's vocal performance is good. A movie good enough for who loves opera and Puccini, not a perfect directing but generally i liked the movie maybe because of the influence of Puccini's music with some memorable scenes like Scarpia's aria and praying at the end of the first act.

It's one of the movies reflect very good the atmosphere of the Turkish theater tradition. The script isn't good because it isn't important in that kind of movies. The investigation scene is a classic. Saban and Husam are opposed characters forming the framework of the comedy. Extraordinary acting from Kemal Sunal, Sener Sen, Aysen Gruda and Sevket Altug. Also Halit Akcatepe, Adile Nasit and Ihsan Yuce (appears shortly) are star players of the Turkish cinema. All of the players are the members of the Turkish theater.
