A lot of other customers seem to like this one, but to my taste it's a second-rater all the way, and the muscular Mr. Lanza a third-rate tenor. Go to Full Review

It is about a snooty opera singer meets a rough-and-tumble fisherman in the Louisiana bayous, but this fisherman can sing! Kathryn Grayson and Mario Lanza give good performances. The screenplay is enjoyable but a little slow in places. Norman Taurog did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the music and romance.
