I enjoyed this as well, but looking at it today... Should we give it a Bravo for the acting?

I keep thinking every time Hogan hits the mat, he's going to pull up, throw that arm out and sing a freaking operatic song of sorrow to the crowd.

Operatic Gershwin... me likey...

This song means alot to me.

<ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Brightman">Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli are wonderful together.

Though Bocelli frequently sings in operas, some music critics and opera fans consider him a pop singer who has neither the training nor the voice quality of a true opera singer. Supporters of Bocelli often counter that his stage presence and the heartfelt emotion he puts into his singing make up for any lack of technical proficiency. Furthermore, opera "great" Luciano Pavarotti conceded to Bocelli's talent, remarking "Let Andrea sing Miserere...for there is no one finer". Ironically enough, Bocelli's critics often point to Pavarotti as the operatic tenor ideal.

Yvonne De Carlo, has a career rap sheet, that the whole of Hollow-wood should envy, Known best as Lilly Munster on the popular series, "The Munsters", she was also known as Sephora, the wife of Moses, in Cecil B.'s, "Ten Commandments"....after checkin' her career and praises, she's known by this armchair critic, as one of the awsome all-around divas of her craft...Sophia Loren like even!

A skilled operatically trained singer, she used to moonlight at the Hollywood Bowl, when the place was between big bookings, and regularly, packed the house!

In, Criss Cross (1949) here she is as the so-called, ex-wife of this limp-wristed bastard, Burt Lanacaster
Oh yeah, this is the film in which young Tony Curtis made his big screen debut-whew!

When you consider the amount of time professional musicians usually spend in crafting a 3 to 5 minute pop hit, this 20 minute+ musical soap opera is pretty impressive. And an opera it is, in the purest sense. Obviously, it doesn't have the same level of talent that operatic singing imbues, but it's still a remarkable achievement, no matter how silly its subject matter. Up vote for effort alone!
