5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy A Young and Vibrant Mario Lanza

A Kid From Philadelphia,: Mario Lanza: The Voice of the Poets

I love these two movies. The story is simple, it has a happy ending but most of all, it has Mario Lanza. He was amazing. These were his first films and they were hits. I recommend them. It is impossible not to enjoy this amazing star of yesteryear who is as fresh today as he was over 50 years ago.

Mario Lanza was the most versatile tenor who ever walked on a stage. He could sing opera like the greatest tenors of all time. He was a master at "crossing over" from lyric opera to popular singing. As a result, he was a top recording artist and concert performer. After making these two movies, he made the film that made his a legend. In the "Great Caruso" he also showed he could be a global movie sensation. The movie about the amazing Neapolitan tenor actually was about Mario Lanza. It turned the Great Caruso into the Great Lanza. He exhibited all of his splendid qualities.

The movie inspired me to write my recent book about Mario Lanza: "A Kid from Philadelphia, Mario Lanza, the Voice of the Poets." It is not a biography. There have been several excellent bios about him. This is a book from a fan. It exhibits his qualities, talents, passion and love for his art. I wanted it to be a "page turner" that would be impossible to put down while listening to the magnificent voice of Mario Lanza.

Anyone who loves Lanza the movie star, the tenor, the popular singer and the human being who did so much in such a short time will love these two films.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARIO LANZA'S SPIRIT MAY NOT BE GONE... IS HIS NEW NAME JONATHAN ANTOINE?
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018
Verified Purchase
Mario Lanza was the greatest tenor of all time. And his vibrant personality was like a super-nova that burns so brightly that it incinerates itself. This is most evident In "The Toast of New Orleans”. The life force that burned inside him was so powerful that it electrified the entire movie. You can feel the energy radiating from him like a nuclear furnace. In one scene, the shocked expression on Kathryn Grayson’s face says it all.

Mario’s expansive and exuberant love of life was too much for any physical body to contain, and sadly, the world lost his earthly presence. But he left behind some wonderful movies and recordings of his magnificent voice that have never been equaled... at least not until now...

Suddenly...as if from nowhere, an unknown young tenor with the same "fire" has appeared on the music scene. Could he be the reincarnation of Mario Lanza? How else can you explain a 17-year-old who sings operatic arias as naturally as he breathes, and already sounds better than the leading tenors of today. His name: Jonathan Antoine.

5.0 out of 5 stars That Midnight Kiss, and The Toast of New Orleans
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2008

That Midnight Kiss and The Toast of New Orleans take us back to a time in the history of film making that has never been equalled. Everything about these films seems to work. The stars were superb, and the costumes and sets were magnificent. The stories were light and frothy, and there were no real attempts to create "real" stories. The audiences happily suspended their disbelief, and were contnent to be carried away by the beauty and purity of the music. Kathryn Grayson and Mario Lanza were magnificent singers and were perhaps at their best in opera and operatic inspired music, a regular feature of films starring these two singers. We may well have been seeing the beginning od "crossover" music here. These films represent the best in production values of their day, and were made in 1949 and 1950 when the world was still expressing the joys of the early Post-War period. Definitely 5 star.

SPOILER ALERT: Watch The Toast of New Orleans first. It's a far superior movie with better sound. That Midnight Kiss is not recorded quite as well, but the main problem with it is that it's packed with blatantly, irritatingly artifical plot elements and the ending doesn't make any sense. At the end, when Johnny shows up on stage instead of Betelli, Prudence still has no way knowing that he will not be marrying Mary and that he hasn't been using her, Prudence, just to get into opera. Yet she falls into his arms. I was very disappointed. Five stars for The Toast of New Orleans and three, at best, for That Midnight Kiss.

Toast of New Orleans

I had heard "Be My Love" for 20 years before I got the video. As a pre teen this voice was the most fantastic sound I has ever heard. It was several years later I got into opera and could appreciate the other things he sang. Italian songs are pretty melancholy for a kid.

Finally with the advent of video I got to see this delightful movie. Well supported with Niven, Nash, Rita Moreno and other character actors....and a marvelous dance sequence, the story bounces along enjoyably. The highlight for me was the Butterfly duet, as Pinkerton was one of only 2 operatic roles he sang, the other being Fenton.

That Midnight Kiss is not quite as well crafted and could use more Lanza singing.

The movie Serenade has some very good opera stagings of arias.

I saw this movie (The Midnight Kiss) when I was 13 years old and became a fan of Mario Lanza's after that and still am at over 70 years. I believe he looked his best in this movie. It looked like they lightened his hair a little and it was styled better than some of his other movies. His eyes are so expressive and sexy in this movie also. Love his voice. Enjoy any movie he is in. Toast of New Orleans was a cute movie that showed Mario could act pretty well to be a "country bumpkin" and change into a gentleman. Love the scene of "Madam Butterfly" which I thought showed Mario had quite a bit of sex appeal. "Wow". Even an "old" lady can appreciate that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Double Feature with a Delectable Duo!
Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2012
Verified Purchase
This double-movie package has everything a classic movie buff could ever want -- gorgeous costumes, magical scenery, divine music, and best of all, the two most incredibly gifted singing stars to ever be recorded on celluloid!

Kathryn Grayson, unequalled for her unique combination of beauty and velvety, fluid vocal dexterity, excels in both movies, and Mario Lanza, making his film debut in "That Midnight Kiss", with a swift encore in "The Toast of New Orleans",swept the ladies of that era into a collective swoon, with his handsome smile, and phenomenal tenor voice.

A real showcase of MGM's ability to produce glorious musical entertainment, these movies dazzle with some of the finest operatic arias, done with such brilliance as to set the standard to which later stars (such as the 3 Italian tenors) would model their own styles after.

The special features included in the disks are notable, particularly the one at the end of the "Toast of New Orleans" which documents the singing career of Mario Lanza. Other features include short documentaries of both "Modern" New Orleans, (a glimpse of New Orleans as it stood in the 40s and 50s) and Old New Orleans.

If you are looking for entertainment that would bring you to another era on a truly uplifting "escape" which will leave you reveling in the talent you've just seen, this double DVD package is highly recommended! Kathryn Grayson and Mario Lanza fans will keep this one at the top of their favorites pile!

Lanza Fan
5.0 out of 5 stars First genuine studio DVD release for Lanza is a gem
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2008
Verified Purchase
My mum has been a big Lanza fan since the 50's and has amassed all his recordings on vinyl and then CD and his films on VHS over the years. However, I was able to buy this DVD for her from amazon.com last year when it was first released in the US. She was absolutely delighted! The quality is excellent - both picture and sound. Unfortunately this DVD is the only GENUINE studio released DVD of any of Lanza's films available at the time I write this (26 June 2008). Apparantly the Great Caruso is being planned for a proper studio DVD release in the US some time soon but there are still no firm dates. BEWARE...all the other Lanza DVD's (of Caruso, Student Prince etc) which you see currently advertised on the internet, eBay etc are NOT official studio DVD releases and the quality is very variable (at best you are going to get the same quality that you would get transferring your own digital copy of a TCM transmission to DVD disk or transferring a good quality VHS movie version to a DVD disk). The extras on these 2 disks are relatively limited but if you haven't seen the included documentary on Lanza originally broadcast by the BBC a couple of years ago, then this is a very worthwhile bonus. Overall, however this DVD is a gem and fully worth 5 stars just for the 2 movies as it represents the first time you can experience a really high quality print of Lanza's movies in your own home. Roll on the release of his other movies!!
