Warning: The tape being reviewed here is the 1983 biography of "Mario Lanza: The American Caruso" and not the 1951 feature film "The Great Caruso" starring Mario Lanza as the previous reviewer claims.  The Hollywood musical star of the 1940s and 50s was born Alfred Cocozza and while this biography traces his success with films and records it also plays straight with his drinking and eating binges until his sudden death in 1959 at the young age of 38.  This biography tries to deal with the persistent rumors that Lanza was killed by the mob because he never paid back Lucky Luciano, who reported had financed Lanza's career, but in the end there is mere suspicion rather than hard evidence.  Watching this film will probably make you wish you had rented "The Great Caruso" or "The Student Prince" instead.  The clips of Lanza singing will only whet your appetite to hear more.
