The story of a prince destined by the force of a ruthless father to marry a princess who can bail his Kindom out of its financial doldrums is infuriating. The princess that he does not love prompts the King to command his son to attend the University in Heidelberg to learn to loosen up as he is overly stiff and proper. There he meets what would have been the love of his life, but alas a barmaid and a prince? Can't happen!! The line that really hits is when the King tells his son that there will be plenty of barmaids after marriage, obviously codoning infidelity. What an Mario Lanza's singing is very good albeit a bit under the professional standard of the operatic tenors that were his contemporaries such as Del Monaco, Tucker, Bergonzi, Biorling, and DeStefano all in their early years, but already bombers. Regardless, thanks God for Mr. Lanza as he did an admirable job in bringing the operatic tenor voice to the general public in a way never before accomplished to the extent he achieved. His stand-in Edmund Purdom is outstanding. Probably the greatest dub-in feat in history. The barmaid is beautiful and just right for the role. The end of this movie is very touching and stays with you for a long time.
