Il grande Caruso (1951)
Enrico Caruso nasce a Napoli nel 1873. Segnalatosi per la sua voce sin da giovane, ottiene successi popolari, ma abbandona il canto sperando cosi' di ingraziarsi il padre di una fanciulla di cui si e' innamorato. Un tenore, Alfredo Brazzi, lo convince a studiare e Caruso, dopo una tourne'e in Europa, accetta una scrittura per l'America. Saranno trionfi fino alla morte prematura, non ancora cinquantenne. Mario Lanza da' il volto al grande Caruso.
