I had confused this one with the Last Posse which is another western with
Broderick Crawford.
I decided to buy it and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is! .
Give it a look.
Tutto bene
Good entertainment.Excellent cast playing believable rolls.
Fast delivery and always reliable
I appreciate the packaging and delivery and its cover’s graphics.
The clarity of the DVD is regrettable and the sound is muddied, so that subtitles are needed.
But there are no subtitle options.
It was a great movie arrived on time in great condition couldn't have gotten better anywhere else
The video has several moments where it slows down. Seems like it wasn't properly ripped from a VHS but I appreciate that it was available.
Great music in the movie.
After waiting 14 days I decided to enquire by email when my DVD would arrive. I received an email back stating I had purchased it via download and had been sent an and had been sent a link, so I checked my emails lo and behold there was one there with a link in it but the link didn’t work, even though the invoice states when I made payment and ordered the movie it was fora DVD. So here we are still waiting for my DVD. I have received no communication back since the inquiry other than I made the mistake. Then I received an email to give a review while I can tell you what it’s not Sterling. I do not recommend buying any movie from this online store.

An Autobiographical Debut
For Mario Lanza’s first feature film role it wasn’t much of an acting stretch for him. He played exactly who he was an opera singing truck-driver from South Philadelphia. Mario would have been 28 at the time That Midnight Kiss came out and that is his approximate age right here.
Of course in real life he wasn’t discovered by the granddaughter of another real life noted Philadelphian, Ethel Barrymore. As the plot would have it, Kathryn Grayson finds Mario playing on the piano and singing an old Italian song Mama Che Vio Sape.
Grayson’s got singing talent herself in abundance and when you’re from the Philadelphia Main Line you’ve got a grandmother who’s willing to start a production company built around her. Of course to make sure it makes a little money you want a name tenor like Thomas Gomez as opposed to some unknown truck-driver.
Kathryn would rather make music with Mario both on and off the stage. The story with a few of the usual Hollywood romantic complications shows how they get to do just that.
Mario and Kathryn sang a good collection of classical and popular selections. My favorite recording of Jerome Kern’s first great hit song They Didn’t Believe Me is from Mario’s original cast album of That Midnight Kiss. It’s a solo recording, on screen it’s done with Grayson and done just as beautifully. MGM made a good choice in including that great song in this film.
A good cast of MGM regulars supported Mario and Kathryn that included Keenan Wynn as Lanza’s friend and Jules Munshin as the manager of the opera company. Best in the supporting cast however is Thomas Gomez as the egotistical tenor Lanza replaces. Gomez utilizes some seldom tapped comedy talent for this role.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer engineered a very auspicious debut for their new singing discovery in That Midnight Kiss.
