06/12/2020 Worth watching just to see Mario Lanza sing Vesti La Giuba - even Domingo said "no one ever performed it better". Its a shame Lanza didn't ever perform a full opera even if just to prove he could - most people who know say that if Mario Lanza had become a serious opera singer he would have been one of the greatest - after all Pavarotti said of Mario Lanza - " A fantastic voice....not just a wonderful voice but a fantastic voice"and that's fair praise indeed.

See more 07/24/2017 People who love opera will like this film as it has many operatic songs and tunes in it. On the whole it was an enjoyable film until the ending : ( spoiler alert), the film did a good job of describing Caruso's life but at the end when he drops down dead the film immediately ended and did not tell us how he died, which was a shame.

Opera fans will rejoice in the 27(!) numbers performed by Mario Lanza, who built himself a legend after dying young in the wake of a rapid rise to fame aided by his film career.
