MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Norman Taurog. Kathryn Grayson, Mario Lanza, David Niven, Rita Moreno, J. Carrol Naish. Lanza plays fisherman transformed into operatic star. Rest of cast good, and Lanza sings "Be My Love.''

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Anthony Mann. Mario Lanza, Joan Fontaine, Sarita Montiel, Vincent Price, Joseph Calleia, Vince Edwards. James M. Cain novel becomes surface soaper of Lanza, the protege of swank Fontaine, manipulated by manager Price and loved by earthy Montiel; spotty musical interludes.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Walter Matthau. Walter Matthau, Carol Grace, Bruce McFarlan, Gerrett Wallberg. Matthau's lone film as director is a low-quality, ultra-low-budget chronicle of the plight of a bank robber and killer. Grace, as a librarian who falls for the thug, is real-life Mrs. Matthau.
