Summary: Mario Lanza's greatest Movie!
Comment:
Some might say that Mario Lanza was overweight and not in his best voice for this Movie, but that would be judging him by those factors alone. This in my opinion ironically is Lanza's best Movie ever! Serenade is a very dramatic Movie with great performances from the likes of Joan Fontaine and in particular Sarita Montiel who really makes this Picture. Add this to the beautiful colourful backdrops and a haunting and dramatic score in the use of 'Serenade', and what you have is a cocktail for a fabulous Movie! For a two hour Film this could have been 'over-long' but in fact the two hours fly by as the whole is so absorbing.
This lush Masterpiece from 1956 is so under-rated as to never have been released on either Video or DVD in the United Kingdom - and only on Video for a limited period in the USA. If you want to own this Movie you're going to have to be patient and hunt madly, but it will be well worth the time spent! And for those who've already seen it, they will want to own it also, and so you'll have some pretty stiff competition in obtaining one of those scarce copies! If you haven't seen it, then book yourself a night in when it is next shown on TV for a great piece of entertainment, and have the chocolates and wine at the ready for a good quality night's viewing!
This is a superb production - oh, and don't forget the tissues!
Simply magic!

Summary: Great moving film
Comment: "Serenade," is an excellent, and not shown much. Mario Lanza's
story is more sad in this one with more obstackles, such as trying to forget a woman he loved. Sara Montiel is excellent in it and beautiful as his wife. It is romantic but has moment of sadness as well. It's one the the best films to chowcase Mario's acting abilities.

Summary: music great of course but the plot is boring
Comment: there will never be another mario lanza he was it. but this movie could have been done better the music is great of course his epic performance of nusum dorma from turandot is fantastic and is probably up there with franco corelli and jusi bejorling the other arias he performs are great as well. but as allways with any lanza picture the screenplay falls flat and is down right boring at times. not to metion it can get pretty korny also. so serenade is given 2 stars for its horrible script if you wanna see lanza at his best its here so get a tape and edit the soap opera script and keep the music cause thats all your ganna want to see

Summary: Winner
Comment: Supurb acting and a great musical score make "Serenade" an easy favorite of Lanza and Opera fans alike. Another movie that will merit repeat watchs not only for the story line but especially for the musical score. What a great talent!
