***SPOILERS**** Dubbed as the voice of the 20th Century by legendary Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini Mario Lanza doesn't let his many as well as future, as soon as they hear him, fans and admirers down. That in the movie "Bcause your Mine" Mario Lanza belting out with his great and booming tenor voice, like a .155 howitzer, song after song as the just drafted into the US Army Renaldo Rossano a man with a voice as big as well as load as all outdoors.
Trying to fit in with his fellow G.I's Renaldo's fame and voice proceeds him as his company sergeant the tough as nails Sgt. Bat Batterson, James Whitmore, just goes gaga over him as soon as he inspects him in the barracks. Being an armature tenor himself Sgt. Batterson knows talent when he sees or in the case of Renaldo hears it. There's also Sgt. Batterson's kid sister Bridget, Doretta Morrow, who does TV & radio toothpaste chemicals who also falls under the charm and spell of the great Renaldo Rossano.
It's later when Renaldo's singing partner the beautiful but extremely jealous, in Bridget getting close with her duet partner Renaldo Rossano, soprano Francesca Landers played Rita Corday plants false ideas into Bridget's mind in her lover Renaldo being a 1st class heel and womanizer! That leads the heart-broken Bridget to walks out on the confused and hurt, he's really in love with her, Renaldo. It's Renaldo who now feels that he's been somehow suckered punched in all this by some unknown and unseen force working behind the scenes. This soon leads to Bridget's big brother Sgt. Batterson sticking it to Renaldo by assigning him to all the dirty jobs on base like pealing potato's and taking out the garbage in order to make him pay for breaking his sister's heart. It's soon that a fistfight between the two breaks out that lands them both in the brig after Bridget tried to get her brother to kiss and make up with a stubborn as a mule Renaldo.
In the end everything turns out all right for everyone involved with Renaldo who refused to sing anymore coming to the rescue in getting on stage and singing his heart out, no big deal for him, in front of the entire UN & NATO general staff and knocking em' dead in the process. Bridget who felt that Renaldo was a two bit gigolo now realizes what a wonderful and loving person he really is and the two lovebirds as the movie ends are back together singing as a duet the movie's team song "Because your mine" and bringing both the house or roof down doing it.
