"The Toast of New Orleans" is a 1950 film directed by Norman Taurog and choreographed by Eugene Loring. It starred Mario Lanza, Kathryn Grayson, David Niven, J. Carroll Naish, James Mitchell and a teenaged Rita Moreno. The film was made in the wake of "That Midnight Kiss", Lanza's successful film debut, as an opportunity for Lanza to sing on the big screen again.

Plot

The plot revolves around Pepe Abellard Duvalle, a New Orleans fisherman, who falls in love with opera star, soprano Suzette Micheline (Grayson). It culminates with Micheline's manager, played by Niven, hearing Duvalle sing and offering him a position.

Music

In addition to arias from "Carmen", "Madama Butterfly", and "La Traviata", the film includes the song "Be My Love", which was nominated for an Academy Award.
