What happens

Mr. Imperium (UK title: You Belong to My Heart) is a 1951 romantic musical drama film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and starring Lana Turner and singer Ezio Pinza. Filmed in Technicolor, it was directed by Don Hartman, who cowrote the screenplay with Edwin H. Knopf based on a play written by Knopf. The musical score was composed by Bronisław Kaper. 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 film's copyright registration in the 28th year after publication.
