Europa di notte (Nuits D'Europe/Europe by Night) is a 1959 Italian film directed by Alessandro Blasetti, written by Ennio De Concini and Gualtiero Jacopetti. This documentary in the "sexy" "mondo" genre is a potpourri of contemporary nightclub and striptease acts recorded all over Europe, including the Crazy Horse Saloon in Paris. Stripteaseuses Dolly Bell, Lily Niagara and Carmen Sevilla are credited. The soundtrack of the film featured "Dans mon île"[1] by French singer Henri Salvador, an early influence on the emerging bossa nova style. Scenes of the film are also featured in Do You Remember Dolly Bell?, the first feature film directed by Emir Kusturica.

1959 Colin Hicks & The Cabin Boys appeared in the Italian film Europa di notte (Europe By Night / Nuits D'Europe ) with Giddy Up a Ding Dong[2]
