5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!   November 7, 2009
L. K Reyes (Warrenton, Virginia)
Ahh! I absolutely LOVE this movie. The people are beautiful, the music beautiful and everything is just breathtaking. It is set in Germany and a Prince goes to Heidelburg where he is treated like everyone else and even falls in love with a bar maid. In the end duty calls and he must return to his life of royalty, but not before we are treated to a beautiful story. There is heavy emphasis on drinking throughout, so I don't recommend it for the most young. But that not withstanding, I heartily recommend the movie. I loved it!

Excellent film, excellent service from provider. Box of the VHS tape was in "Like new" condition. I had seen the film as a youngster, and enjoyed it immensely. Of course, I was sorry that Mario Lanza did not complete the film. Various stories circulated regarding the reason. However, Edmund Purdom did an excellent job as the Prince. Ann Blyth was radiant and in superb voice as Kathy. I saw her at Dallas Music Hall during the run of the Texas State Fair in the mid-60s as Anna in "The King and I," a beautiful production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein favorit. Michael Ansara was vigorous and forceful in his portrayal of the King. Ann Blyth was also in the filmed "Rose Marie" in 1954, and gave a wonderful performance. I have not seen "The Student Prince" advertised on DVD so was happy to have it on VHS. It would have been even more wonderful if I had a giant TV screen. Thank you.

The Student Prince is my all time favorite movie! It is beyond my understanding that people can view this plot as simple. It is very true to life. Just amazing! Many people wish that they had grown up with this movie, I did. I don't like older movies, but this is amazing. My brother made a DVD copy of the VHS movie just so I could watch it over and over again. I don't know how many times I've seen it, but it always makes me feel young and old at the same time. An amazing movie to say the least. I think that it is only that it is "too real to life" that it has not made the "classic" list.

This is the only review that I have ever written.

Pure passion. I love the concept that Italians only ask one questions when a person passes away. "Did he/she have passion". This movie is passion for all but the cynical.

Love the movie.

My wife got this on a recommendation from a friend. I couldn't stay awake it was so boring. She even was mystified at the recommendation. Lousy ending (so I'm told --like I said, I didn't make it past about 15min).


5 out of 5 stars Not just a "chick" movie.   May 9, 2007

I was dragged to this movie as a young boy. What young man wants to see a movie with a singing prince and a love story? It didn't take long for me to enjoy the story of male bonding by singing and drinking in the beer garden soon to be followed by a sword fight.
I can almost imagine myself serenading the beautiful and sexy barmaid (Ann Bylthe), especially with the flawless voice from GOD(Mario Lanza) lip-synced to near perfection by the prince(Edmund Purdom).
All this plus an arrogant jerk is shown the error of his ways. Oh yeah, and the love story is classic.
With 20-20 hindsight it's obvious that losing Lanza,the actor, was a stroke of luck.
