yeah - it is a bit painful - but if Mrs Caruso had her way - it still
would have been a weak film, but with a opera star that wouldn't draw
a movie crowd. - And the RCA sound track - even the mono version
had more echo than the grand canyon - but I digress -

There is a scene where Lanza is in a recording studio, and if
memory serves - it was a long horn.
