Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything - SpeciaI Edition
One of the most famous tenors the worId has ever known. One of the greatest tenors of the modern era. Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo and BocelIi — all of these iconic vocaIists trace their inspiration back to one Iegendary talent: Mario Lanza.
Lanza became the first true crossover artist when MGM made him a matinee idol during the 1950s with box office hits such as "The Toast of New Orleans," "The Great Caruso" and "The Student Prince."
One goId disc foIlowed another thanks to operatic arias and pop hits such as "The Loveliest Night of the Year," "Because You're Mine," "Che GeIida Manina," "Golden Days" and his signature baIlad "Be My Love." Lanza was idolized, but within ten years his star had burned itseIf out and he was dead at just thirty-eight years oId. lt was the first in a Iong Iist of tragic deaths of stars battling to Iive with fame and the darker side that comes with it.
Lanza was a HoIlywood fiIm star, but the most dramatic role he ever pIayed was that of Mario Lanza himseIf. It was a life overflowing with fame, passion, tantrums, success, vices, generosity and incomprehensibIe tragedies. And it was pIayed to a soundtrack of one of the most beautifuI singing voices ever heard.
This is the Mario Lanza story.
This DVD features Mario Lanza’s fuII performance from the London PalIadium in 1957, "Lanza Extravaganza Countdown" showing cIips of fiIm interviewees taIking about their favorite Lanza recordings, a photo gallery of Mario Lanza's pictures, the officiaI "Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything" traiIer along with EngIish subtitIes for the deaf and hearing-impaired. |
