Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.79
This is a highly fictionaliased and heavily sentimental portrait of the great operatic tenor .It is lavishly mounted and has many popular ingredients which all helped in making it a major commercial hit in its day. There is the rags to riches nature of the story as Enrico Caruso rises from poverty on the back streets of Naples to becoming the darling of New York society ,overcoming the death of his mother while still a child and building a carrer in the opera houses of Europe before his US debut.There is the theme of his falling in love with a scion of New York society ,in the face of unbending parental disapproval .There are lots of popular operatic arias and a strong dose of religiosity ,with the Bach -Gounoud "Ave Marie" a particular standout ..for those with more populist taste ...

2.Toast of New Orleans starring: Kathryn Grayson, Mario Lanza, David Niven, J. Carrol Naish, James Mitchell directed by: Norman Taurog September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.55
What a match! Grayson, the beautiful physiognomy, clothes-model, and concert-quality singer was the best of her time (see her in "Kiss Me Kate"); and Mario has a magnificent voice. It was unfortunate that Mario was too out-of-condition to play "The Student Prince". Instead, the role went to Edmund Purdom. Also, Mario was made for the musical Carousel! None sings "If I Loved You" so well. But, we are happy to have the video tapes and recordings of these perfect performances available in the market place.

3.Rhapsody (1954) starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Vittorio Gassman, John Ericson, Louis Calhern, Michael Chekhov directed by: Charles Vidor September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.99
Glorious music and glorious robes for Liz Taylor. Butmy God what a trashy story - yes, of course the woman has to be selfless, of course she has no talent whatsoever. This is how girls were taught to be dummies....

4.Grandpa's Magical Toys starring: Francisco Reynders, Kevin Hageman, Daniel Strauch, Sharene Mackall, Joel Morello directed by: Susan Shadburne May 23, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
the tape was in good condition and it is so loved by everyone of my grandchildren ...all ages....even me. It has been played numerous times and still going strong.

5.New Orleans (1947) starring: Arturo de Córdova, Dorothy Patrick, Marjorie Lord, Irene Rich, John Alexander directed by: Arthur Lubin January 22, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.47
The movie showcased the ascent of New Orleans ragtime music versus the uptown music. Miralee Smith (Dorothy Patrick) was the young opera singer who, together with her conductor, was attracted to ragtime music, against the wish of her mother and many. Mrs. Smith, to keep her daughter away from ragtime music and its staunch supporter, Mr. Duquesne (Arturo de Cordova), made sure New Orleans had no place for either of them. And in Chicago Mr. Duquesne popularized the music as jazz. The real draw, of course, lies in the jazz music as epitomized by Louis Armstrong and his Band, Woody Herman and his Orchestra, and the beautiful voice of Billie Holiday, plus the professional musicians playing the cornet, trombone, clarinet, double bass ... . Billie Holiday exuberates a cool confidence with ... Read More
