A Beautiful Musical but Sad Love Story !!

I finally got the opportunity to purchase this movie, and it is the singing of Mario Lanza that blows me away . My favorites are "Beloved" , "Serenade" and "Summertime in Heidelberg", and "Deep in My Hear, Dear" , everytime I hear Mario sang those songs to Kathie , my heart just melts. Edmund Purdom does make a very handsome prince and very good lip synching too. Must of been a very tough job for him. Ann Blyth was perfect in her role as the barmaid, and what a lovely soprano voice she has!! Edmund and Ann make a great couple and they had very good chemistry working together, no wonder they did a movie together again the following year "The King's Thief" . A must watch for musical lover's fan. 5 stars for singing and acting !!!!

Good Movie

The music, the romance, and of course, Mario Lanza's voice are what we romantics look for every time. Ann Blyth has always been a delightful actress to watch and Edmund Purdom does the handsome Prince so well. Heidelberg is always the old-fashioned setting to complete the fantasy. I watch this movie alone or with my favorite person. The solo that Mario Lanza sings "I'll Walk With God" has been a true inspiration during many sad moments for me.

A Real Fan

I don't know how many times I have watched my video of this film, but I enjoy watching every time!!! It is the one video I Treasure. I love all the songs. When will it be put on DVD????

Not just a "chick" movie.

I was dragged to this movie as a young boy. What young man wants to see a movie with a singing prince and a love story? It didn't take long for me to enjoy the story of male bonding by singing and drinking in the beer garden soon to be followed by a sword fight.
I can almost imagine myself serenading the beautiful and sexy barmaid (Ann Bylthe), especially with the flawless voice from GOD(Mario Lanza) lip-synced to near perfection by the prince(Edmund Purdom).
All this plus an arrogant jerk is shown the error of his ways. Oh yeah, and the love story is classic.
With 20-20 hindsight it's obvious that losing Lanza,the actor, was a stroke of luck.

Like a fairytale

I'd had this video for years and can't tell you how many times I watched. It's like watching a beautiful fairytale. The setting, the costumes, the music are all beautiful. The entire cast superb. The only disappointing thing about this movie is that Mario Lanza did not get to perform the part of the prince even though he had recorded all the songs for the movie--it's his voice you hear--and the screenplay was written especially for him. But because he had a problem controlling his weight, the studio replaced him with Edmund Purdom, whom I think did a superb job overall--you can not tell he's not the one really singing. I love Ann Blyth as the leading lady--so lovely and so is her voice. All the songs are beautiful, and Mario's voice is out of this world. I gave my video to Anthony Kearns(one of the Irish Tenors) at one of his concerts and told him they should do a remake of this movie using him as the prince (of course they would have to deal with the Irish accent). As it turns out, Anthony now sings two of the songs from this movie. I recently got another video of this movie from Amazon.com and can once again watch it over and over.
