      Audience Member Mario Lanza made his film debut in this glossy MGM film which is short on plot but long on a mashup of operatic and pop tunes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member ok not my thing though dont really care for lanza Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Though I'm not a big fan of tenor singers, it was a good solid story nonetheless =) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Barrymore, Munshin, Wynn, and Lanza all have there good points here. But WHY does the nice uncouth opera singer always fall for the stuck up Prima Dona? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Mario Lanza's starring film debut. He & Kathryn Grayson are very well paired. Sweet if predictable story, great singing, very colorful. Jules Munshin and Keenan Wynn are both featured in nice supporting (and funny) roles. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Didn't really know what to expect. Wasn't great, but quite sweet. Must say that Mario Lanza has a great voice!
