What a find! I've never seen Sinatra so appealing nor Durante quite that young! Lawford is all warmth, charm, and sincerity, and Grayson, is, well, Grayson the Divine Singer. Great film about everyday people with aspirations and heart.
The plot is inspiring, the people affecting, the ending excellent, and the score wonderful. I disagree that there was too much opera, and I personally got a kick out of seeing Frankie sing opera w/Grayson. I don't know from 'Lakme', but Grayson was divine looking and sounding in that scene. Found this on VHS for $1, and feel mighty privileged to have seen it. Durante was quite remarkable in a far longer role than the small turns I've previously seen him in.
