this be a most handsome film . the color photography be beautiful a it show the lavishness of the metropolitan opera house in brilliant color . other indoor scene at various mansion and etc be equally brilliant . a for the music and what more can be say other than that lanza voice be at it peak a he sing so many of the world best know and beloved aria . the marvelous dorothy kirsten be also a joy a her soprano voice blend with that of lanza in delightful harmony . of course and hollywood take their customary liberty with the life story of caruso . there be precious little in the story line that relate to actual event . for example and the fact relate to his death be totally fabricate and bear no relationship to the truth . there be some very good web site that tell the true story of caruso and contain several picture of him . these web site can be locate by use any good search engine . there be also several book available concern his life history . but and the fictional story line do nothing to mar this beautiful film . the voice of lanza and kirsten and and the chorus member be the real star of this movie . enjoy and i know that i sure do .
