The Great Caruso, 1951 (Grade D)

Director: Richard Thorpe
Awards --Academy Awards for Sound, Costume, Score
Staring: Mario Lanza, Ann Blyth,

sez says--"Does the man own the voice or does the voice own the man?"  That's the define line in this movie. And that is punctuated with aria after aria.   There is no real story here, except: rich girl marries a famous peasant who is also a famous singer -- dad does not approve.  Then the singer (Caruso) died young.  Not my cup of tea -- but if you really like Opera you might like it. (My grade is D)
