That Midnight Kiss/The Toast of New Orleans (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Kathryn Grayson, José Iturbi, Ethel Barrymore, Mario Lanza, Keenan Wynn
directed by: Norman Taurog

Release Date July 24, 2007
My mum has been a big Lanza fan since the 50's and has amassed all his recordings on vinyl and then CD and his films on VHS over the years. However, I was able to buy this DVD for her from amazon.com last year when it was first released in the US. She was absolutely delighted! The quality is excellent - both picture and sound. Unfortunately this DVD is the only GENUINE studio released DVD of any of Lanza's films available at the time I write this (26 June 2008). Apparantly the Great Caruso is being planned for a proper studio DVD release in the US some time soon but there are still no firm dates.

The Student Prince [1954]

starring: Richard Anderson, Ann Blyth, Louis Calhern, John Ericson, Edmund Gwenn

Release Date April 25, 2007
I can't rate this item, but judging by the reviews of this DVD there is a much better alternative... I bought a different Asian import from an Amazon seller - The Student Prince (1954) - Ann Blyth,Edmund Purdom,John Ericson and was delighted to find that both picture and sound quality are good, the format is 16:9 widescreen and the subtitles can be turned off completely. See my review with others on the product page.
