Review :
For Lana Fans Only???...
Lana's a singer who ultimately falls for a prince, a real prince.
The best way to review a movie of someone's favorite actor, is to ask what if someone else played that part? Well, if anyone else had been in this movie other than Lana, I probably wouldn't have watched it. While it may not win any awards, it's not terribly bad either; in fact, it does have some charm and a young Debbie Reynolds and "Ma Kettle" and Ezio Pinza's strong voice. But, having said all that, I get the feeling watching it that this project must have come to Lana at a career low. Watching such a big guy as Ezio Pinza in certain scenes (you'd have to see it to know what I mean) was just too much, becoming either unintentionally funny or just plain silly. It might would have been more effective, had they picked a younger male lead with more appeal.
If I had to pick the three of Lana's films that I think are the weakest, they would be "The Prodigal", "Love Has Many Faces", and this one. (But, I've not seen her 1970s movies.) Finally, though, I would have to say that a movie's ending makes you either satisfied or dissatisfied with it. Usually short movies wrap things up with a pat or forced resolution and too quickly. This ending flowed and allowed you to feel your way out...
In other words, only Lana fans would watch this, and only they will be rewarded in small ways. But you could still do a lot worse, watching any number of today's movies.
