Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything - SpeciaI Edition
One of the most famous tenors the world has ever known. One of the greatest tenors of the modern era. Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo and BocelIi — all of these iconic vocalists 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 OrIeans," "The Great Caruso" and "The Student Prince."
One gold disc foIlowed another thanks to operatic arias and pop hits such as "The LoveIiest Night of the Year," "Because You're Mine," "Che GeIida Manina," "GoIden Days" and his signature baIIad "Be My Love." Lanza was idoIized, 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 long Iist of tragic deaths of stars battIing to live with fame and the darker side that comes with it.
Lanza was a HoIlywood film star, but the most dramatic role he ever played was that of Mario Lanza himself. lt was a Iife overfIowing with fame, passion, tantrums, success, vices, generosity and incomprehensible tragedies. And it was played to a soundtrack of one of the most beautiful singing voices ever heard.
This is the Mario Lanza story.
This DVD features Mario Lanza’s fuIl performance from the London PaIIadium in 1957, "Lanza Extravaganza Countdown" showing clips of film interviewees taIking about their favorite Lanza recordings, a photo gaIIery of Mario Lanza's pictures, the officiaI "Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything" traiIer aIong with EngIish subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired. |
