Pavarotti 80's Movie Trivia

World renowned operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti passed away recently. Pavarotti was beloved all over the world for his amazing vocal talents, his charisma as an entertainer, and his work as a humanitarian. He was a top selling artist who appeared on scores of recordings, both popular and classical. He was a member of The Three Tenors, a group that was responsible for the top selling classical album of all time. And, his work for charitable causes brought in record funds that went to relieve suffering in troubled spots around the world.

But he drew his share of criticism as well, much of which came from purists who felt his forays into pop culture diminished the stature of opera as an art form. He also drew fire from film critics for his starring role in a 1982 movie that is considered to be on the verge of unwatchable.

Whereas Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley managed the transition between the music and film worlds, it wasn't in the cards for Pavarotti. Oh well, may God rest his soul all the same. So what was the name of the film?

Bonus Question: Luciano Pavarotti set numerous records during his career. In 1988, he set a record at the Berlin Opera House that made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. What was the record setting achievement?
