...impeccable supporting cast is headed by Louis Zorich as a store owner facing advancing age. Brad Kane, the movie voice of Aladdin, is a cuddlesome delivery boy.

The other leads, a fine Marcel (Howard McGillin) and a brilliant Musette (Cass Morgan), took fire from them. The night before, Ronstadt and her Rodolfo, David Carroll, had sung at and past each other without making contact, and the rest of the cast was in shock...
