Description: Hello, See photos super cool very very rareMr. Imperium (UK title: You Belong to My Heart) is a 1951 romantic musical drama Technicolor film made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, starring Lana Turner and singer Ezio Pinza. It was directed by Don Hartman who co-wrote the screenplay with Edwin H. Knopf, based on an produced play by Edwin H. Knopf. The music score is by Bronisław Kaper. Lana Turner's singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Erwin. In 1979, the film entered the public domain in the United States because Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer neglected to renew the copyright registration in the 28th year after publication According to MGM, the film earned $460,000 in the US and Canada and $295,000 elsewhere, resulting in a loss of $1,399,000. Mr. Imperium was an entertaining film with a troubled release; it was the first of two musicals MGM attempted with South Pacific stage-star and former Metropolitan Opera singer Ezio Pinza. When previews with test audiences proved disastrous, the second film, Strictly Dishonorable, was put into general release first, but with the same unfavorable results. One of the reasons cited for the failure of Mr.Imperium was its odd title, but the real problem with the film was Pinza as leading man. On stage in South Pacific, Pinza successfully appeared as a dashing, mature leading man; On screen, he came across as less of a matinee idol, and more of a “dirty old man,” to quote historian Don Miller, author of the 2015 '"B" Movies.' Mr. Imperium played theaters mostly as a "B movie" second-feature, despite lavish MGM production, Technicolor, Lana Turner, and two pleasant Harold Arlen/Dorothy Fields songs, “Let Me Look At You” and “My Love and My Mule". MGM cancelled Pinza's contract after the box office failure of Mr. Imperium.Shipping and Handling time I will do my best to ship your Item out As soon as possible.
