Audience Member Mario Lanza's final MGM contract film is a (very) slight story about an opera star who gets drafted; Lanza introduces the Oscar-nominated title song, and Bobby Van appears in a tap-dance solo. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Mario Lanza's fourth picture, in which he plays a singer drafted into the army, is not one of his best but is pleasant enough. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a nice war musical, it's also a romantic comedy, and Lanza sings a lot. If you're a fan of his, you'll like this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot is nothing special but Lanza is in fine voice. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
