In 1965, director Richard Quine made a film about Synanon, a real-life drug rehabilitation center, called, not surprisingly, Synanon. The film starred Edmond O’Brien as Charles E. “Chuck” Dederich, founder of Synanon, and the denizens of Synanon were played by Alex Cord, Chuck Connors, Stella Stevens, Richard Conte, Richard Evans, and Eartha Kitt. Shot on location in Santa Monica at Synanon, the film is filled with the usual soul-searching, bad withdrawal, falling off the drug wagon, romantic entanglements, more bad withdrawal, really bad withdrawal, more soul-searching, and, of course, some more bad withdrawal – and music. Lots and lots of very cool music composed by the very cool Neal Hefti.

Hefti, who began in big band and jazz with Woody Herman and then Count Basie, wrote his first film score in 1964 for Richard Quine’s comedy, Sex and the Single Girl. It was classic Hefti right out of the gate and introduced a fresh, melodic, and, yes, cool voice into film scoring. He followed that with How To Murder Your Wife (released by Kritzerland), which was followed by Synanon. Some of his most famous work lay ahead – the following year he’d work on TV’s Batman, do brilliant scores for two Neil Simon comedy films, Barefoot In The Park and then his iconic music for The Odd Couple, whose theme was also used in the TV series based on the play and film. Hefti’s score for Synanon opens with a moody and evocative main title, and the rest of the score consists of variations on that main theme, along with some swingin’ ups, bluesy ballads, and even a couple of vocals – all in the unique Hefti style and loaded with his usual melodic invention. There was no one like him.

Great jazz soundtrack. Many thanks for sharing this music to a film I never heard of. Great score. Again many thanks.

I have the LP now this thank you

Thank you share!

Thank you.

thanks a lot

I was amazed when i heard the score for "The Odd Couple", fantastic and cool themes.
So i’m curious about this score, but the former was a comedy and this is a drama.
If someone could put "The Odd Couple" in lossless in a thread, I would be happy.

Thank you

Thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing this.

Thank you for this score

Has anyone got the original recording of The Odd Couple, not the original vinyl record release because it was re-recorded and not the original film version, thank you 🙂

Any chance of a re-up, please? Many thanks in advance.
