5.0 out of 5 stars Lanza, still the best!, January 1, 2002
By Sara A. Rager (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been in love with this movie since first seeing it in the theater when I was a child. I am watching it again today, and it is still very good. I am moved by his singing like no one else's. The movie has so many musical numbers, it is wonderful. I just wonder why there was never a sound track from the movie, at least I have never been able to find it. The Ava Maria number still brings tears to my eyes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mario Lanza at his Best, May 13, 2002
Mario Lanza displays his supurb talent in this music filled video and if you aren't already a fan "The Great Caruso" will make you one. The musical selections in this video are unsurpassed. A video you will watch over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful movie!, November 8, 2001
By Rosella Ann Myles (Wheeling, West Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
I really enjoyed this film, and would give it more stars if I could. Mario Lanza has such a beautiful and heavenly voice.

He is also a great actor as well. A great movie about the life of the Great Caruso. Well worth watching.
