Ezio Pinza-Lana Turner ' You Belong To My Heart'

[52214227]

Pinza molto canto

[stephenjoeagi]

@52214227 Grazie tanto.

[lunterteng]

great subtitles!



[thephantom1946]

I just have to add It's nonsense to believe that Pinza's voice was dubbed. Because someone said it was high for a bass?? He had a range of well over two octaves! Unbelievable coming up with the idea of him being dubbed! Probably from someone who knows very little about Pinza's phenomenal voice and range.

[ljliljohn]

Isn't this the Trio Los Panchos?

[thephantom1946]

@ljliljohn This is the Guadalajara Trio and they did a great job as backup for Pinza.

[MTondeleo]

@ljliljohn Admittedly, one member of the trio looks like one of Los Panchos, but when Lana T. introduces them as the Guadalajara Trio, they are a real group with that name. It was typical of Hollywood's attitude toward Latino performers to dismiss any mention in the credits. The trio appeared in several Hollywood films uncredited.

[Dhbrydon]

I believe I am correct in saying this is one of the great Lara,s songs

[MTondeleo]

@Dhbrydon Indeed it is, Agustín Lara, legendary Mexican composer, who was enchanted with a city in Spain and, in its honor, wrote the great classic, Granada.

I had an opportunity to dance with Lana Turner when I was a movie extra and I was standing in for Mel Ferrer on Falcon Crest. She was still very beautiful in the early 1980s. She looks great in the video.

[stephenjoeagi]

@Featureman You are a lucky man. I saw her in summer stock from very close, before 'Falcon Crest. She was ideed very beautiful. Thank you for your comment.

[thephantom1946]

Such a delight to hear Pinza sing this song. I have to revisit this every so often, to hear his magnificent voice in a popular song as well as opera.

[CineKarine]

That's Trudy Erwin singing for Lana Turner as she did in The Merry Widow too a year later.

[Corrie121]

I love this song and I love this particular rendition. It is superb.

Thank you for sharing.

[aristopus]

Doesn't get any better. Great song, great voice. Charming is the only word.

[joeparkson]

Lovely moment from a so so movie.

[aida2004]

Increiiibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!......Gracias por subir esta maravilla de documento!!!!!

[MTondeleo]

I must add to my last comment, after seemingly putting down Lana Turner, it was only in comparison with Pinza, whose voice and stage presence I adored long before "South Pacific," still do. Yes, Turner was largely a PR fabrication, but she was indeed glamorous and at times, especially in maturity, a good actress. BTW, in 1950 I mimeo'd a script, "The Pinza-Lanza Story," but MGM abandoned the project. What a prize that would be today!

[MTondeleo]

A favorite song! Can anyone tell me, is Lana Turner really singing? It has to be her, no studio voiceover soprano would sound that dulland a mite flat. What an ill-conceived choice. Meatloaf with Pavarotti was a better pairing. I was a studio gofer at MGM when Mr. Imperium was filmed (1950), a cheap, hastily concocted effort to capitalize on the success of South Pacific. Pinza was a radiant, bawdy presence on the lot. Public was not as stupid as Louis B. thought. Poor box office.

[songcyclist]

I have a VHS tape of this under the title "Mr. Imperium"

A very young Debbie Reynolds is in it too.

My voice teacher gave it to me years ago because he heard a similarity in our voices.

[joeparkson]

A lovely moment from a so-so movie.

If you haven't heard it, Julie London has a fine version of this song.

For me (52), Pinza and Turner have been legends of my late parents' era. Nobody can forget them. Makis from Athens (Greece)

[stephenjoeagi]

Efcharisto Maki. Nasai kala.

[7074551]

You are welcome. Are you Greek? Eisai ellinas?

[sammipink]

SO BEAUTIFUL THE LATE GREAT EZIO PINZA

[Brennna]

Such a beautiful song! Thank you for posting it.

[Tenderness6]

Beautiful That's rather high for a bass. Thank you so much. The magnificent Pinza!

[catlec39]

@Tenderness6 Enzio's voice was dubbed in many roles.

[thephantom1946]

@catlec39 Nobody ever dubbed Ezio's voice. (note the spelling). There was absolutely NO need to do so.

[bingcro]

sweet as a nut im trying to learn how to play this on my uke (and i will )

[cesarchavezmartinez]

Era mundial Agustin Lara! Viva el Sr. Lara & Mexico.

[fReaKaRos]

[lanamyfav]

Awesome! I do have the entire movie on tape!

[worzt]

thanks for sharing this and some others videos of Ezio Pinza, most of the vids i had on my favs are now unavailable so i'm really realy glad you upload these.

[AulicExclusiva]

Magical! So beautiful!

[celisinc]

Awesome! My father tells me that he used to see people on the streets during World War 2 singing this song to each other with tears in their eyes. Most had lost a father, husband, brother or son and it somehow expressed their feelings.
