		According to Michael Scott, author of The Great Caruso (1988), Enrico Caruso made his American debut on November 23, 1903 at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, appearing in "Rigoletto." As the world's foremost tenor, he traveled throughout the United States until the end of 1920, exciting crowds with his inspiring vocals.

		Featured in a museum display on The Great Caruso are "the strong Egyptian cigarettes he smoked through an elegant, tortoise-shell holder." And he wouldn't sign a contract with any opera house that didn't allow him to smoke when he performed.
		Mario Lanza, who portrayed Caruso in the film "The Great Caruso" and who also is still revered for his magnificent voice, was also a smoker.
		Lanza died of a heart attack, which was thought to be caused by wild extremes in diet and weight and the massive quantities of diet drugs the studios got him to take to keep his weight down.

		What fascinates us about Caruso, and what keeps his voice alive for us, is that he sang from an old tradition which was moving to a newer one.
		Today, as a Caruso enthusiast and collector of some original recordings, I can say that when one buys a CD, or an LP for that matter, which uses 78rpm disks as source material, what you are listening to is, essentially, a high-tech apology for equipment unable to play the original medium.
		The Soundstream method of processing the Caruso recordings was one which struck me as being quite faithful to the originals, although it preserves some of the surface noise.

		The Great Caruso also takes far fewer risks, featuring a "safe" choice of familiar operatic standards, and a screenplay that is little more than a series of entertaining vignettes.
		While The Great Caruso would probably be most Mariophiles' first choice as an introduction to Lanza, Serenade has so much more meat on its bones that it invariably makes the stronger impression, warts and all.
		It's a great shame that an operatic snippet that Mario recorded for the movie from Act I of Tosca was not used instead, but then again the producers were probably more enamored of the visceral appeal of a high C than Lanza's superior singing of Qual Occhio al Mondo.

		I loved The Great Caruso and nearly cried at the end when Caruso dies, thinking, probably because I saw the film several years after Lanza died, that it was the story of his life rather than Caruso’s.
		His first three films—That Midnight Kiss, The Toast of New Orleans and The Great Caruso— were among the top-grossing movies of the years of their release.
		The Great Caruso does not seem to be about opera as much as it is a kind of technologically inventive opera in its own right about ethnic assimilation in the United States, mystifying the Italian-Catholic ethnic as magnificent divo who is not cultured himself but through whom high culture can be expressed and preserved.
