This third big-screen version of "The Merry Widow" bolsters the story's appeal through the glamorous pairing of Lana Turner and Fernando Lamas. A handsome dignitary from a mythical land courts a wealthy, joyous widow in the hopes that she will wed him and, in turn, rescue his nation from insolvency. This proposal is merely the beginning of a series of tuneful, extravagant antics.
