Already things had threatened to get out of hand. The Norwegian press snorted at U.S. rhapsodies about the "Cinderella" marriage, testily pointed out that Anne-Marie's brief stint as a U.S. housemaid (one year) was common European practice for well-brought-up girls, who often serve au pair* in a foreign country. Anne-Marie should not even be called a poor girl, protested one paper, because "everybody is poor in comparison with the Rockefellers...
Thousands of Norwegians and scores of newsmen greeted Governor Rockefeller at Kristiansand airport. Three photographers were knocked down and trampled, and a flying wedge of Rockefellers protected Anne-Marie from being crushed. Rocky embraced Anne-Marie and called her a "wonderful and intelligent girl." He shook hands with her leathery father, Kristian Rasmussen, 67, who was also being jostled, and asked Anne-Marie to tell him in Norwegian that he was a "good sport."

The casting is pluperfect, but most of the picture is a pretentious bore. The pre recorded songs seem unable to locate Lanza's lips, and some of the arias might even have been scraped off old Lanza sound tracks. The only new number, a "Jamaican rock 'n' roll" item called Pineapple Pickers, summons little of the old Mario...
