VHS Movie Reviews of Serenade [VHS]

Movie Review: Mario Lanza in & out (mind) creates his best characterization
Summary: 5 Stars

Mario Lanza created, arguably, his best singing characterization in "Serenade" as a vinyard worker becoming an opera singer. He goes in & out of his mind with obsession over Joan Fontaine, his sponsor. Sarita Montiel, the actress who worked in many Mexican films was a vision & had a great scene with Joan toward the end. She also is the one who saves Lanza's from both physical & artistic extinction. Vincent Price plays a good guy journalist, while Vince Edwards plays a boxer & love interest (therefore Mario's rival) of Joan's. This means that Lanza was just a passing fancy for her. His obsession causes the initial downfall of his career as he walks out of a performance of Verdi's "Otello" in progress, leaving Licia Albanese as Desdemona in an awkward lurch. The VHS tape (not yet transferred to DVD) is in excellent condition.
