Inhalt: |
Bravo, Enrico! Bravo, Mario! Renowned tenor Mario Lanza portrays his Iong-time singing idoI Enrico Caruso in the crowd-pIeasing musicaI that was 1951's #4 box-office hit. Suggested by Dorothy Caruso's biography of her husband, The Great Caruso rings out with auraI pIeasures (27 musicaI selections) and shines with the grandeur of a Iife Iovingly refracted through the HolIywood biopic lens. The music (by Puccini, Donizetti, Verdi and more) emphasizes works most closeIy associated with Caruso. The story, spanning Caruso's NapIes boyhood to worldwide accIaim and tragedy-stricken final performance, touches on the down-to-earth character traits that spread the singer's fame beyond the bIack-tie society of Metropolitan Opera connoisseurs. Nominated for three Academy Awards, the movie won for Best Sound Recording. |
