DVD Reviews of That Midnight Kiss / The Toast of New Orleans
DVD Review: My first favorite tenor!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Toast of New Orleans
I had heard "Be My Love" for 20 years before I got the video. As a pre teen this voice was the most fantastic sound I has ever heard. It was several years later I got into opera and could appreciate the other things he sang. Italian songs are pretty melancholy for a kid.
Finally with the advent of video I got to see this delightful movie. Well supported with Niven, Nash, Rita Moreno and other character actors....and a marvelous dance sequence, the story bounces along enjoyably. The highlight for me was the Butterfly duet, as Pinkerton was one of only 2 operatic roles he sang, the other being Fenton.
That Midnight Kiss is not quite as well crafted and could use more Lanza singing.
The movie Serenade has some very good opera stagings of arias.

It was just what i wanted and was a new DVD in a plastic cover.DVD Review: Thank you Warner Brothers!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Summary: 5 Stars
It was superb, but then again, I have always loved Mario Lanza. Your prompt mailing was great.DVD Review: Splendid voices, splendid music
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
