Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 01/29/2020
The prince's tenor voice actually belongs to the invisible Mario Lanza. His top notes sound a bit strained now, but the schmaltzy old songs are still hummable. Go to Full Review
Josephine O'Neill Daily Telegraph (Australia) 03/26/2019
Beer-choruses, balls, parades, and moonlight fill in the gaps of a nostalgic entertainment. Go to Full Review

As stiff and old-fashioned as the detachable collars on the men's shirts. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Nov 19 Success in 1 hour and 47 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 See more Eric S 01/17/2024 I was 14 when the movie came out out, and very romantic. The music is wonderful, and, at 84, in a 60 year marriage, I kept breaking down in tears, remembering all the good times we've shared. How lucky we are to be playing out the loves our lives until one of us dies! See more 02/18/2021 Boring. Perry to look at, but that's it! See more 09/12/2020 Epic waste of time. Two hours of buil up and no climax. You sit through boring song after boring song, but there's no payoff. This one should have remained a play for the theater because it's a stain on the cinema screen. See more 08/28/2020 I loved it! Enjoyed the music, and Cuddles was great as the innkeeper! I bought a copy and watch it often! See more Frances H 08/08/2020 This movie succeeds on the basis of the wonderful music, Mario Lanza's voice, the charm of Ann Blythe and the wonderful band of character actors such as Edmund Gwen and the lovable "Cuddles."
