It all comes down to personal taste of course but to dismiss Anna Moffo as inadequate in La Traviata is a bit much. She sings most beautifully and affectingly and is very agile in coloratura crowning the cabaletta with a high E-flat.
Richard Tucker is a bit mature and beefy for Alfredo but he sings very well and works hard at delicacy in the more intimate passages, again, "penny-plain" is a bit much. We at least seem to agree on Robert Merrill as a first-class Germont.
If by "figure du part" you mean looking the part it is said "physique du róle" in French.
