...First Time (Corona; MGM) presents outsize Tenor Mario ("My voice is the greatest in the world") Lanza as an "unpredictable, erratic, self-centered" American singer who is chased by an overdressed, "publicity-loving" international party girl (Zsa Zsa Gabor). The casting is pluperfect, but most of the picture is a pretentious bore.

...Zsa Zsa (haughtily): "I never in my life thought I lose a man if I give him love and affection. American law is against a woman. If I go in a room and see a very attractive man, I don't think about him as a man, but as a business partner. My class woman has no chance for love. She thinks, dammit, the man's marrying me for my money. It's only poor people who are really happy...
