The Last Dance (Italian: L'ultimo ballo) is a 1941 Italian "white-telephones" comedy film directed by Camillo Mastrocinque and starring Elsa Merlini, Amedeo Nazzari and Renato Cialente. It is considered to be in the tradition of White Telephone films, popular during the Fascist era.[1] It is based on a play by the Hungarian writer Ferenc Herczeg and features Merlini in a dual role as mother and daughter.
It was shot at Cinecittà Studios in Rome. The film's sets were designed by the art director Alfredo Montori.
