5.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting movie
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.

even Lana can't save this one,
By Byron Kolln (the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood) - See all my reviews (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.

Wasn't As Bad As I Thought,
By Harry Young (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Imperium (DVD)
I bought this movie because I'm a fan of Debbie Reynolds, and she has a small part in it. I was also a fan of Lana Turner. I think the movie was okay because those two actresses had a good performance. It doesn't matter that the storyline was quirky or unbelievable, or that the singing wasn't sounding great, the movie as a whole can be enjoyed by watching the glamorous Lana Turner and cute Debbie Reynolds. The leading man was the only turnoff. Lana supposedly couldn't stand him when filming the movie, but it didn't show in the film. But he wasn't that handsome, he doesn't deserve Lana Turner.

Nicely Done Romance Musical !!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mr. Imperium [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This 1952 movie starts out with a romantic encounter in Italy between Fredda Barlo(Lana Turner),a rising singing starlet and Mr. Imperium(Ezio Pinza),an heir to a throne.Twelve years later they meet again and Mr. Imperium is forced to choose between his love for Fredda or his country.Also,co-starring Debbie Reynolds,Barry Sullivan,Cedric Hardwicke and Majorie Main,it's a nicely done romance musical!!
