Mario Lanza was a wonderful and he sang superbly in this film whether he hadn't been a movie in a few years or not. It was the movie that was forgettable.
The first half of this film was just plain awful.l. I wondered if most of the scenes depicting Joan Fontaine and Mario's relationship was left on the cutting room floor. We don't see the reason his patron dumps him to take off with a new man toy. All we see is her box seat at the opera is empty and he falls apart and runs off the stage. I was left feeling very bewildered. The scenes in this two hour movie are very disjointed
I enjoyed all Mario's arias, but the performances lacked passion and I was very disappointed.
