Many of the Paur family is in this movie. Joseph Paur is Ribaldi/Rigoletto, his son Mason is Nicky, his daughter Stephaine is Elaina, and Leo Paur is the writer and director.
This movie is a branch off of the story line of "Beauty and the Beast" Which is an adaptation of the original Riggoletto story, which was then re-written as an Opera in 3 acts by Composer Guiseppi Verdi. Written by Franceso Maria Piave based on the play "Le Roi s'amuse by Victor Hugo.
Mr. Ribalidi's crest, a calligraphic R with a crown over it, can be seen many places: on Bonnie's music folder, the magic mirror, Ribaldi's porch bench where he and Porter talk, his record book (where he keeps track of who he gives checks to), and Ribaldi's iron fences.
Ivey Lloyd Mitchell's debut.
