Don3comp's comment on the implausibility of the plot of The Student Prince whenever I open up the video which is often. The plot is implausible but so what. The show, in general, and this song, in particular, have no purpose other than to entertain and are wonderfully successful in that regard. "Drink, drink" is a rousing love song that brings joy to my heart and a smile to my lips every time I hear and sing it. 4CRG

lol when i meet my husband and he found out i had this song he laughed at me.mind you i was only 17 at the time in 1976. and even today i still listern to it , its such a jolly song to sing to when having a little tipple. well done and thank you for posting
@telmac899 Yes, and she's still around at 82. According to what I copied from wikipedia, she married James McNulty, brother of singer Dennis Day, in 1953. The couple had five children. McNulty died in 2007.
@telmac899 Your youtube home page lists your country as Antarctica. Were you making a joke? Or are you living at a science station there or something?
@ChicagoSouthDan Antarctica! Bloody hell mate, I must have been well oiled on Guiness when I did that! No, I'm an Englishman now living in South Florida and retired after 38 years in the Royal Navy...Life is good! (And a bloody sight warmer than Antarctica!)
I THOUGHT so! Folks, Check out Richard Anderson (AKA Oscar Goldman from the 6 Million Dollar Man) as Lucas, Karl Franz's buddy right next to him. Yeah, I'm THAT good. :-)
I remember when this movie came out, Lanza was replaced because he had gained a lot of weight due to his alcolism and his out of control eating habits. Lanza had really gotten out of control on the movie sets in his previous films so i think he was blackballed when this film was cast/. Too bad, he would have been fabulous in this movie.
yeah drink your beer...finish up at the end of the night eating horrific fast food that you would normally avoid...head down the toilet when you get home and "soft cock" if you happen to have company, and the next morning try to get your dehydrated brain to remember what stupid things were said the night before..when it comes to beer the eyes are usally bigger than the belly.....having said all that however.....LETS DRINK !!!!
Yes according to the album notes (my mother had many Mario Lanza LP's) The producers wanted his voice, but he sang his best at a weight which did not look good on film.
I grew up watching any Mario Lanza film, whether on tv or that was played in theatres and I appreciate that my mother introduced me to this wonderful., amazing instrument that wa shis voice RIP Mom, and Mario
When I was a very small lad, there was an old Mario Lanza in the record collection... the very threat of this album being put on the old Gramaphone would send me running to my favourite hiding place. But seeing this clip, I get it now. Very beguiling.
Thanks for uploading this video. This is my most favorite musical movie. I love Edmund Purdom & Ann Blyth. This was a very beautiful but sad love story. R.I.P.
@USCCHRIS0476 Student Prince (1954), with Ann Blythe and Edward Purdom. Lanza didn't get the acting part but my God... he should of. You should also check out "Gaudeamus Igitur" from the same movie.
Detractors often say that the main trouble with operetta is the lack of plausibility in the plots. Because of this scene, I think I see the problem; here you have male college students drinking lots of beer and flirting with a waitress. -Who came up with these things?- : )
The late Purdom did a good job with the dubbing. I had the later recorded version also he made a couple of years before he died of the student prince but this is best with his young voice in prime shape. Originally it was issued #LM1837 RCA Victor--- Mono recording.
I have heard that the original filiming of Mario Lanza (not this lip sinc imposter) doing scenes in the Student Prince still exist. In fact, the original one that drew critisim from the director is supposed to be amazing. Anyone know how to get a copy of that and post it?
I have The Student Prince 12 inch vinyl record that was my parents, a long time ago. I've played it a lot in Australia. In the video clip, it looks like they are all getting pissed...Ha....I'll shout you a beer for your help.
When my father bought his stereo in 1958 this was the first stereo record he bought. He made us sit on the sofa and listen to the separation of brass and strings. God rest your soul Daddy, I miss you so, everyday.
so beautiful to hear you speak so lovingly of your Dad. What a beautiful memory to cherish. And how beautiful to visualize your Dad orchestrating all of you sitting to enable you to appreciate the music the way he did. Thank you for sharing. And may your father rest in peace.
Thank you so much for your kind words. You put tears in my eyes. Thanks for feelings me. On Nov 4 Daddy would have been 87. He as born the day King Tut's tomb was discovered.
He loved music, he was a master teacher, intellectual, poet, storyteller, romantic.. Please believe me when I say he's been gone 21 years and even now at 61 Nov 6th I am still MY DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL!,
The second stereo record Daddy purchased bought was Count Basie's APRIL IN PARIS. Whenever I hear it I am frozen and choked with tears. I have placed on my "bucket" list I must experience April in Paris personally before I leave my body. I would like for you to listen to this magnificent recording. It's simply marvelous my friend. I hope you will, if you do or already have please let me know, will you?
Thanks for the advice; I could 'feel' your emotion listening to this recording.
So you should 'plan on it'. On the main boulevard of Paris, the Champs S''Ellyese (not sure of the exact spellling) plan on plugging in your headphones and while looking at the magnificent buildings of Paris listen to this song your Dad loved. It will be worth every penny it cost you and much more!!! Book it soon!! And have a great time : ))))))
Es una lastima que en la actualidad no se hagan peliculas con obras de arte. Antes la gente tenía la oportunidad de conocer a los grandes talentos musicales por algunas peliculas. Eran relmente hermosas obras musicales del cine.
I will admit, considering how most people these days onstage aren't really good at hiding their lip-synching, I'd say this one was pretty much raised to an art form, if that. It was a pretty good act.
Hello-it was really not Mario Lanza-it was a later performance-but-this voice was also good and clear-like in this year-because the "Student Prince"comes from the USA-a fantastic yoice!
I have the entire filmography and discography from mario lanza, nelson eddy,jeanette macdonald documentaries, TV presentations, audio and video concerts, also of other great singers like Mario del Monaco, Corelli, Gigli, , Schipa, kraus, caruso, borling, tagliavinni and many more interested write to me
@SoNotTelling He was pretty good alright - have you seen Larry Parks in the Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again?! As a child I thought he *was* Al Jolson! Mario Lanza is my favourite though - such a shame he didn't play this role - but Purdom was very good - shame he wasn't in more high profile things. Having said that, it's very hard not to keep staring at Cathy... Absolutely beautiful.
What a simply magnificent drinking song this is and Lanza's voice is without peer. The combination here is glorious. Thanks so much for putting together this wonderful video.
The guy in the back with the glasses who isn't singing with the crowd and just gawking at the Prince always seems to catch my attention. It's like he doesn't fit in, somehow...
balletamie: thank you for all the works you have done to provide the information about this song. much appreciated. i am sure a lot of people loved this song and wanna to know the history of it.
Was mich mal interessieren würde, warum singen die in Englischen Liedern so oft eins zwei drei vier, statt one two three four(nicht nur wenn es sich reimt, sondern auch zum anzählen des takts...)
The scene was used in the last few years as part of an advertising campaign for Carlsberg Beer, which was clearly seen in the movie! The tag line is "worth waiting for"
Your comment that you thought they were drinking water brings a smile. Goodness only knows what was in those tankards. Apple cider? Ginger ale? Something (ahem) harder? I always wondered what masqueraded as "the real thing" in movie beverages. But then, considering the "takes" many movies needed sometimes, guess the drink would have to be something tame. No spirits...because you don't want befuddled singers bumping into the scenery!
I recall John Wayne saying that the cowboy 'whiskey' was actually cold tea(!). Ever hear the story about the first drinking scene in Ice Cold in Alex, starring John Mills et al?
Well there's a scene at the end after they've beaten the desert, where J.M. buys them all a beer and drinks his in one go before their's are served. Apparently, the scene was shot early in the morning - before breakfast! And the cast keep making deliberate mistakes to force re-takes. So the story goes, John Mills was absolutely rat-arsed by the final take! :-)
John Wayne was right, what they drink on films looking like whisky is in fact tea. At least here it is. I have a person of family working on films and he confirms that. Can you imagine if it wasn't what would happen especially to actresses but also actors after a long day of shooting with endless repetitions of the same take? A tragedy for certain...
I agree cold tea I detest but hot tea is wonderful. We do drink a lot a coffee over here, tons of it in fact, much more than tea but I for one love it. On the other hand I do not like liquor at all and do not drink it, instead I drink a cup of coffee of two every single morning and one or two cups of tea every afternoon :-)
Thank you for having this on here! I randomly was reminded of this movie earlier tonight, and this is one of my favorite songs from the musical. Squee~! Lanza's voice is pure magic ^o^
I'd carry a barrel of beer from here to the moon if I could sing like that. Haven't heard this since I was ten years old, but it is just as sharp and full of punch as ever. Thanks very much for posting this one.
Even if you are not a prince, you can still live these moments in German (and Swiss and Austrian) fraternities, the celebrating, sword fighting, drinking.... The best years of my life....Go see yourself, it is worth it.
I have the entire filmography and discography from mario launches, live recordings on audio and video, documentaries biographical,interested write to me
Blame mayer. Purdom was capable but mayer demanded to use lanzas voice.Mario was a drunk and womaniser and he died young but god i loved his voice He will always be no 1 to me
I think Purdom did a great job in this movie. He was often critised for being rather wooden, but this worked to his advantage in this film. I'm old enough to remember the movie's orginal release, and the press were very complimentary about Purdom's lip syncing.
I like the movie but I cant get past Mario's voice with the actor lipsinking. It is too bad Mario could not have worked it out and got along with the director to be in the movie. I think he would have been adorable with Ann like in Caruso.
my father was a classical singer ..a tenor....he love mario lanza ..how many times I heard that song when I was a young kid...amazing...I still love it and so also "Gaudeamus Igidur"...

The guy in the back with the glasses who isn't singing with the crowd and just gawking at the Prince always seems to catch my attention. It's like he doesn't fit in, somehow...

Was mich mal interessieren würde, warum singen die in Englischen Liedern so oft eins zwei drei vier, statt one two three four(nicht nur wenn es sich reimt, sondern auch zum anzählen des takts...)

This is one of my all time favourite songs . I watched the movie when I was a kid and instantly loved it. My dad use to play the LP every sunday.

The scene was used in the last few years as part of an advertising campaign for Carlsberg Beer, which was clearly seen in the movie! The tag line is "worth waiting for"

considering the fact tht it was made in 1954, the "Lip-synching" was excellent! What a voice Mario Lanza had.

Timeless rendition of a timeless classic.
Sigmund Romberg gave us so many glorious melodies...seldom heard nowadays, alas.
Thank you for posting this wonderful scene from THE STUDENT PRINCE! Cheers!

I remember seeing this when I was a small boy and thought they were drinking water! Happy memorys
yot5000 2 years ago
Aww, yot5000,
Your comment that you thought they were drinking water brings a smile. Goodness only knows what was in those tankards. Apple cider? Ginger ale? Something (ahem) harder? I always wondered what masqueraded as "the real thing" in movie beverages. But then, considering the "takes" many movies needed sometimes, guess the drink would have to be something tame. No spirits...because you don't want befuddled singers bumping into the scenery!

I recall John Wayne saying that the cowboy 'whiskey' was actually cold tea(!). Ever hear the story about the first drinking scene in Ice Cold in Alex, starring John Mills et al?
Factnotfictionpeople 2 years ago
Cold tea! How offputting is that!
I've never seen the film Ice Cold in Alex starring John Mills so am not familiar with the drinking scene in it.
erzbet07 2 years ago
Well there's a scene at the end after they've beaten the desert, where J.M. buys them all a beer and drinks his in one go before their's are served. Apparently, the scene was shot early in the morning - before breakfast! And the cast keep making deliberate mistakes to force re-takes. So the story goes, John Mills was absolutely rat-arsed by the final take! :-)
Factnotfictionpeople 2 years ago
Cute story, Factnotfictionpeople.
I'll have to keep an eye out for the film. John Mills is a wonderful actor!
erzbet07 2 years ago
John Wayne was right, what they drink on films looking like whisky is in fact tea. At least here it is. I have a person of family working on films and he confirms that. Can you imagine if it wasn't what would happen especially to actresses but also actors after a long day of shooting with endless repetitions of the same take? A tragedy for certain...

I know - its no wonder they grimmace so often after knocking back a full glass of 'Red-Eye in the saloon!'
Cold tea tastes vile! LOL
Factnotfictionpeople 2 years ago
I agree cold tea I detest but hot tea is wonderful. We do drink a lot a coffee over here, tons of it in fact, much more than tea but I for one love it. On the other hand I do not like liquor at all and do not drink it, instead I drink a cup of coffee of two every single morning and one or two cups of tea every afternoon :-)

Even if you are not a prince, you can still live these moments in German (and Swiss and Austrian) fraternities, the celebrating, sword fighting, drinking.... The best years of my life....Go see yourself, it is worth it.

Blame mayer. Purdom was capable but mayer demanded to use lanzas voice.Mario was a drunk and womaniser and he died young but god i loved his voice He will always be no 1 to me
gillhill92 3 years ago
I think Purdom did a great job in this movie. He was often critised for being rather wooden, but this worked to his advantage in this film. I'm old enough to remember the movie's orginal release, and the press were very complimentary about Purdom's lip syncing.

I like the movie but I cant get past Mario's voice with the actor lipsinking. It is too bad Mario could not have worked it out and got along with the director to be in the movie. I think he would have been adorable with Ann like in Caruso.
