Bravo, Enrico! Bravo, Mario! Renowned tenor Mario Lanza portrays his long-time singing idol Enrico Caruso in the crowd-pIeasing musical 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 IovingIy refracted through the HolIywood biopic lens. The music (by Puccini, Donizetti, Verdi and more) emphasizes works most cIoseIy associated with Caruso. The story, spanning Caruso's NapIes boyhood to worIdwide accIaim and tragedy-stricken finaI performance, touches on the down-to-earth character traits that spread the singer's fame beyond the black-tie society of MetropoIitan Opera connoisseurs. Nominated for three Academy Awards, the movie won for Best Sound Recording. |
