Mario Lanza, great, yes, but one cannot overlook the amazing lip sync work of Edmund Purdom, who for unknown reasons spent his career working in Europe (mostly Italy) instead of the U.S. Purdom was also memorable in The Egyptian.
It is truly amazing that a singer who passed away so long ago still captures the imagination of millions. It is a testimony to Mario Lanza's fantastic talent. It was a splendid but short lived career filled with passion and success and some difficult times. At the end, Lanza was back on his way up and was among the most popular entertainers of his era. I recommend reading A KID FROM PHILADELPHIA, MARIO LANZA, THE VOICE OF THE POETS, and to listen to him as you read the beautiful essays that are a homage to a star who is still with us and will always be with us.
A beautiful Film performed by two beautiful souls and a truly heart felt Musical with a song Summer time in Heidelberg which is my favorite song in the entire film! Very emotional and touching all the way. brought tears to my eyes as it did as a child when i would watch this film.
Ann Blyth liked it too.
Tears came to my eyes when The Student Prince movie was on AMC the other night. I was in my late teens, and fell in love with the movie. So, I had to pull up the soundtrack and once again listen to this outstanding work by Sigmund Romberg. Awesome everytime I hear it
