 A MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL!!! August 17, 2005
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
One of Sigmund Romberg's BEST...and beautifully adapted to film.
That said, WHY ISN'T WARNER STUDIOS TRANSFORMING IT TO DVD?!!!
Rating this for the singing...not the acting... April 7, 2005

Mario Lanza had gained a great deal of weight and was not allowed to be in the film....but his voice was used...which makes this effort breathtaking...no one can sing "I'll walk with God"..any better...
buy it just for the music.
Mario's Voice and Edmund's Body July 14, 2004

Mario Lanza was slated to star in this great movie. Unfortunately, he gained a lot of weight and was replaced - not just directorial differences, but Lanza's eating/drinking were taking him over - a sad by-product of fame for some. Edmund Purdom is not Lanza but he does make a handsome prince. When I first saw the close-ups, I noticed that the synching wasn't quite in-synch...but one soon forgives and forgets. This is a lovely story with outstanding music - in all, a delight.
Beautiful music...Heartbreaking Story August 1, 2003

I will not recap the story behind this beautiful musical....other reviewers have done this well. All I want to say is be prepared to be delighted by the music and destroyed by the ending of the story. No matter how many times I've seen The Student Prince I end up a whimpering mess at it's conclusion. Very bittersweet and all too real, impossible love situations destroy me. That look on Ann Blyth's face, as the Prince she loves but cannot have visits her one last time, haunts me well after the film concludes, at which time I'm crying like a baby. In fact, as I write these sentences I'm crying again!! Too bad that Mario Lanza was not given the acting role (for whatever reason). We do get to hear his glorious singing voice dubbed with actor Edmund Purdom doing a credible acting job. But it is the radiant Ann Blyth (with her own beautiful singing voice) that steals the show for me, and I'm a gay man!! I only hope the DVD will follow soon.
Recommended for all lovers of romance. Have the tissues ready for the ending.
excellent musical. May 5, 2003
"The Student Prince," with Ann Blyth and Mario Lanza is a wonderful and beautiful film. I so enjoy it. It's colorful such a great fairytale and some of the best songs. Mario Lanza and Ann Blyth are great actors abd singers. The costumes and scenery deserve a award. A must see film well worth watching many times.
