I always thought that Mario Lanza did not get the lead role as he was too heavy at the time the film was made.
Edmond Purdom does an excellent dubbing of Lanza and of course, Ann Blyth is terrific as the bar-maid, singing beautifully, although she will lose her love at the end.
While viewing this film, I naturally thought of King Edward of England, who gave up his throne for Wallace Simpson, the woman I love. I guess that Sigmund Romberg didn't want this kind of end for his light operetta.
Louis Calhern is wonderful as the venerable grandfather who tells his grandson that he is speaking to him as his king and not his grandfather;therefore, it's his duty to marry the woman who has been chosen for him.
Of course, the Romberg music is wonderful. Those renditions of Deep in My Heart and Drink, Drink are so memorable and touching.
The ending will tug at your heart. Blyth sings while love slips away. Were you watching Wallie Warfield Simpson? If you did, you must have counted your blessings.
