There's no mistaking the grand voice, the outsized personality, the friendly, open face. Stepping outside his traditional operatic canon to star in his only feature film is renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Not that the "King of the High Cs" steps too far outside with this breezy tale of romance. Nor would fans want things any other way. The role of an opera star touring the U.S. provides an ample showcase for Pavarotti's rich vocal artistry in works including Ave Maria, La Donna È Mobile, his signature Nessun Dorma, even I Left My Heart in San Francisco. Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton) directs, with locations including Italy, Boston, New York and the Napa Valley. Bravo, Giorgio! Bravissimo, Luciano!

Pavarotti is stunning in this musical travelogue. His "Ave Maria" brought tears to my eyes; he could easily have overwhelmed the delicacy of this piece but exercised a level of professional restraint that is inspired beauty. The secular pieces added the right energy to the set, and we see his versatility as a pop star as well as on the operatic stage. And the basic premise (that he is playing hooky from his own fame) is especially endearing. The cinematography alone makes this a movie to own.
