This was a good story, but also a sad one, as it was Mario Lanza's last film, and hearing that wonderful voice, and knowing that soon it would be silenced (at least here on Earth) makes you want to cry, while smiling at the simple love story that's a backdrop for all the scenes and songs from famous operas.
Johanna von Koczian was sweet as the deaf young woman who falls for the opera star but won't marry him until she can hear him sing. Zsa Zsa Gabor plays the kind of role she's famous for, yet here she has a heart of gold behind all that glitter and glamour. The movie's filmed on Capri, with all its breathtaking scenery, and there are funny moments along with the poignant ones.
If for nothing else, it's worth watching to hear Mario sing (especially "Come Prima"!) So check it out!
