With the passing of opera legend Luciano Pavarotti, what's the appropriate number of days to refrain before mentioning his 1982 flick "Yes Giorgio"?

... Time's up. (I'll go easy - I promise.) The film, which also co-starred Eddie Albert and Kathryn Harrold, featured Pavarotti as "Giorgio Fini," a pampered opera singer who loses his voice (a real stretch for Luciano, I know) and then falls in love with his throat doctor.

To confess that you've seen the movie from start to finish is akin to admitting that you once videotaped "Webster" so you could watch "Punky Brewster" live.

Like most musician-to-actor movies, it has a great soundtrack. But if you think it's the worst of that particular genre, you're sorely mistaken.
