The Great Caruso (1951)
Directed by Richard Thorpe
“The Intimate Story of a Man with a Voice as Great as His Heart!”
Drama, Music · 1h 49m
Enrico Caruso's only passion is to sing. For that, he leaves his hometown of Naples, Italy, and travels to America to sing for the Metropolitan Opera. At first, his lack of education and poor background make him an outcast in the high-class opera world. Eventually, his voice wins him both fans and the hand of his love, Dorothy. But his nonstop pace and desire to perform at any cost eventually take their toll on the singer's health.
