The German musical comedy Guitars of Love stars Italian tenor Vico Torriani. The hero is garage mechanic Robert Trenti (Torriani), who dreams of attaining fame and fortune as a singing star. Heading to Rome to realize his goal, Trenti joins a musical aggregation called the "Hot Four." While touring the provinces, Trenti is selected for stardom by internationally famous orchestra leader Mantovani (who co-stars as himself). Elma Karlowa co-stars as Mantovani's femme vocalist Ilona Mirko, with whom Trenti falls in love at fade-out time. One wonders how the Mantovani depicted in Guitars of Love eventually evolved (or devolved) into the King of Elevator Music.
