PARIS URCHINS BECOME CHOIR BOYS 1963 Film ID3096.13
Paris urchins playing in Paris, auditioning, living and singing with Abbot Delsinne.

This longer film shows boys being dragged from the street, auditioned, given a wash and brush up, taught how to sing and then performing as Les petits chanteurs a la croix de bois. The film is a bit of a spoof as the boy who can't sing in the audition ends up singing the solo in church. The film would have originally had a commentary.
