 Thank you Warner Brothers!!!!!! December 30, 2008
Personally, I got the movies for Mario Lanza's voice. However, I was pleasantly surprised with a few things.
1. The scripts are better than I thought they would be, and the stories are simply delightful.
2. I wasn't much of a fan of Kathryn Grayson, and she isn't necessarily an operatic soprano, but she does some things with her voice that are unbelievable.
However, I must ask Warner Brothers to do the same thing with some later Lanza films: 'The Great Caruso,' 'Serenade,' and 'For the First Time' are some examples.
This is a must-have.
That Midnight Kiss, Toast of New Orleans September 22, 2008
It was superb, but then again, I have always loved Mario Lanza. Your prompt mailing was great.
Splendid voices, splendid music September 22, 2008

When MGM paired its star soprano Kathryn Grayson with newcomer tenor Mario Lanza, the studio got a vocal duo that ignited the screen and made operatic singing so exciting that even people who thought they hated opera rushed to the nearest theater to hear them. In their no-holds-barred solos and duets, Grayson and Lanza provided some of the most spine-tingling musical numbers ever caught on film. Just listen to "Love Is Music," the soaring duet that closes "That Midnight Kiss," or "Be My Love," their first duet in "Toast of New Orleans." Grayson sings at the top of her register, and Lanza prodigiously pours forth his magnificent tenor voice. The story lines of the two films are pure fluff, but listening to Grayson and Lanza join vocal forces for "Libiamo" from "La Traviata" and the Love Duet from "Madame Butterfly" is pure joy for anyone who loves great singing.
Highly Recommend for Lanza Fans July 8, 2008

First of all Mario is soooo handsome in the Toast of New Orleans. One of the most handsome of men I have ever seen and almost took my breath away! He is also funny and quirkey in this movie. In both films his voice is wonderful. If you want to see him sing get this. In That Midnight Kiss I love it when he and Ms. Grayson sing "They Didn't Believe Me."

Mario Lanza was a great signer...not too many like him.
I love all of his movies and these two when he was younger are full
of life and songs.
Enjoy
