| User ReviewMegan BThe classic story of a high class lady and the man from a whole different walk of life that falls in love with her. The musicality is lovely and the story is classic. One of my all time favorites |
| User ReviewDiana Nfantastic voice of mario lanza and katherine grayson |
| User ReviewAshley HVery fun and sweet movie. Oh Mario Lanza! :) |
| User ReviewAlegra SA most enjoyable musical. It is quite colorful, and and performances are great. |
| User ReviewMichael TA fisherman (Mario Lanza) becomes an opera singer in MGM's Technicolor follow-up to Lanza's first feature; once again, he's paired with Kathryn Grayson and they duet to the Oscar-nominated "Be My Love." Rita Moreno has a featured role and dances with James Cameron to "The Tina-Lina." |
| User ReviewChrisanne SNot bad-- Some good casting and Lanza's beautiful voice make it enjoyable but the plot was (of course) all wrong at the end. |
| User ReviewDaniel KDull opera musical. nothing to distinguish it, especially if you don;t care for opera. |
