...Barber of Seville. The setting was a knockout, bright and modern-looking, and the heroine-this time it was pretty Roberta Peters-sang a tricky song he had often heard on the radio, called Una Voce Poco Fa.

Fat Fernando Corena sat in a fat chair and glared suspiciously at everybody; tall, skinny Jerome Hines wore a crazy hat, sat in a tall, skinny chair, giving him arguments.

Von Neurath would recall for them the glittering days when he was his country...
...provides a pleasant, sentimental score that also has lilt. As the lover's father, Ezio Pinza is vibrant and masterful, but not once does the great voice of his opera days pour forth. Walter Slezak makes an excellent merry widower; no one middle-aged has more verve, no fat man more avoirdupoise...
