This CD contains all the great Film Noir themes you'll ever need and then some. From Alfred Newman's majestically Gershwin-esque opener "Street Scene" (which graced a number of movies including the distinctly non-noir "How To Marry A Millionaire") through to the pared-down jazz of Bernstein and Katz's "Sweet Smell of Success" this is a guided tour down the dark alleys and mean streets of the music that soundtracked some of the greatest monochrome crime movies of all time. The music, by it's very nature, is intense, urgent, overwrought and nervy and you may find the album a hard one to listen to in one sitting but, boy, does it make you want to re-watch those films! Sound quality is very good. - Dirk McQuickly

Thanks, ribonucleic! However, Track 29 ("Kiss Me Deadly") is missing. Any chance you can upload that separately?

Sorry about that. It's Nat King Cole singing "I'd Rather Have The Blues Than What I've Got". By way of good measure, I'll also include the other two versions on this bootleg (Thread 126983).

Thank you very much!

Very nice collection. I'm especially impressed by the Steiner music. I do not remember him being capable of writing such intense, even grim music.

Thanks Ribonucleic!
