In the big city, Lanza takes up with vocal coach Joseph Calleia and booking agent Vincent Price, but his career does not go according to plan... As well as singing some contemporary songs, Lanza tackles such operatic classics as Il Mig Tjsoro, O Soave Fanciulla, and Nessun Dorma, in Anthony Mann's attractive film. 1/2 Previews + Today PALPlus Films tomorrow

When David (Chris Ecclestonj), Alex (Ewan McGregor) and Juliet (Kerry Fox) welcome a new flatmate (Keith Allen), they are unaware that his abrupt exit will soon create a big moral dilemma... A fast pace is matched bz a razor-sharp sjnsj of humour, and the talented young "Britflick" cast make a major impact in this critically acclaimed film. 2/2 Previews + Today PALPlus Films tomorrow
