In this post-modernist exercise, star/writer Steve Martin and director Carl Reiner spoof the film noir yarns of the '40s
with Martin playing gumshoe Rigby Reardon, who interacts with a legion of Hollywood greats -- including Humphrey
Bogart, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Edward Arnold, Barbara Stanwyck, Ingrid Bergman, Veronica Lake, Bette Davis,
Lana Turner and Joan Crawford -- in a succession of intercut clips from seventeen vintage Hollywood films. Rigby is a
low-rent detective (his fee is $10 per day) sitting in his office, waiting for something to happen. That something happens
when the voluptuous Juliet Forrest (Rachel Ward) arrives in his office and faints dead away at the sight of a newspaper
that reports on her father's death in a car accident. Juliet is convinced that her father was murdered and offers Rigby
$200 to investigate. Upon searching Mr. Forrest's office, he comes upon a list of names under the headings "The Friends
and Enemies of Carlotta." As the two delve deeper into the mystery and its requisite deceptions, they encounter an
"exterminator," Juliet's surly Nazi butler, Field Marshal Von Kluck (Carl Reiner) and an overly helpful Mexican friend,
Carlos Rodriguez (Reni Santoni).

Fellow film composer Lee Holdridge was hired to conduct the studio sessions because R�zsa had fallen ill (later the same
year he suffered the stroke that ended his career as a film composer). R�zsa listened in on the sessions over the telephone.




Music Composed by
Mikl�s R�zsa

Played by
The Hollywood Studio Symphony

Conducted by
Lee Holdridge




"Miklos Rozsa's final soundtrack never had an official release from MCA Records, but Prometheus Records
of Belgium has released this fine 45-minute CD of the complete score for the Carl Reiner-directed film
noir parody, starring Steve Martin. Rozsa was well into his seventies and in declining health when this
project came along, and by all accounts -- including the evidence before our ears -- it was an invigorating
experience, enjoyable and challenging all at once. Asked to return to his mid-'40s film noir style, the
composer revived the dark orchestral timbres and the violent rhythms from that period in his writing; in
the process, he proved once again that a great score can make a good movie distinctly better, in this case
both funnier and yet more reverential to its source of inspiration. The one thing that Rozsa couldn't do
was reuse his old material directly (which was especially funny since some of the old movie clips used in
the Reiner film had been scored by Rozsa in the first place, 35 years earlier), and he rose to the occasion
by recreating a sound and a style without quoting directly from any specific score; in the main title theme,
he managed to mimic his old '40s style and even give a nod to his contemporary, Max Steiner, as well.
As listening material, the music holds up very well -- one of the reasons that Rozsa had so much respect
from the musical community (apart from the academics who resented the fact that he wrote "archaic"
tonal music) was that his music for films stood well on its own, separate from the movies themselves.
This soundtrack is always moving forward, carrying the listener through a series of moods as well as
musical passages that hold together extremely well, sustaining themselves for the full running time
of the piece, which is all one can ask. The material is dramatic and atmospheric, but it's also distinctive
and complex music, with room for jazzy and comic interludes ("Walking Down 5th Street,"
"Rigby Reardon -- Cross Dresser") that hold up equally well. The recording quality is excellent,
with good presence and a particularly gorgeous tone on the strings (solo or massed), and the
transfer is very clean. The annotation could be more thorough and the price is steep (around $23),
but this is a very entertaining and musically illuminating CD."
