3.0 out of 5 stars even Lana can't save this one, November 21, 2007

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Mr. Imperium (DVD)
MR. IMPERIUM is, not surprisingly, one of the lesser titles in Lana Turner's resume. Not even her beauty and charm can save this lumbering turkey of a musical.

Turner plays Fredda Barlo, an American cabaret star who becomes romanced by a down-to-earth member of European royalty--known simply as Mr. Imperium (and played by talented opera basso Ezio Pinza). Featured in thankless supporting roles are Debbie Reynolds and Marjorie Main.

Fans of musicals are likely to enjoy it (despite a song about "presto anti-pasto"--what the...?). There's a reason why this movie is now in Public Domain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting movie, March 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mr. Imperium [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the movie that introduced Ezio Pinza to me. Upon investigation I found a wonderful singer not only for opera but popular music as well.
