"Everything about you is a lie."
"It wasn't lies, Jenny. It was acting."
[donning the Rocketeer helmet] "How do I look?"
"Like a hood ornament."

THE MOVIE
Straight from the pages of a pulp comic from a past era, the Rocketeer recreates 1930's Hollywood, complete with gangsters, Nazi spies, and the growth of the Age of Aviation.
Bill Campbell stars as Cliff Secord, an eager young pilot who finds himself in possession of a secret jet-pack that gives him the ability to fly. Cliff soon learns that screen-star Neville Sinclair (Timothy Dalton) will stop at nothing to get his hands on the rocket pack so he can give it to the Nazis.
As The Rocketeer and with a little help from his mechanic friend played by Alan Arkin, it's up to Cliff to elude Sinclair, defeat the Nazis, and save his girlfriend Jenny (Jennifer Connelly). Rounding out the cast is mobster Eddie Valentine (Paul Sorvino) and inventor Howard Hughes (Terry O'Quinn).

THE SOUNDTRACK
The whimsical music for The Rocketeer was composed and conducted by James Horner.
Most of the Rocketeer soundtrack elicits the adventure and lifting spirit of the film and reveals how Horner incorporates rich instrumentals in the tiniest crevices.
Horner brings on a full, stunning orchestra and when he overdoes it, it is
in a jolly way -- he never exhausts his medium. That is what separates him from inferior composers, and what makes a nice film like The Rocketeer extra nice.
It is a soundtrack worth listening to, and Melora Hardin's covers of E.A. Swan's "When Your Lover Has Gone" and Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" add just the right touch of '40s authenticity.
This complete soundtrack includes Horner's interpretation of 40's tunes such as Duke Ellington's "In A Sentimental Mood" and Cole Porter's "Easy To Love". And inter-dispersed throughout the film (sometimes played on a background radio) are original Artie Shaw tracks such as "You're A Sweet Little Headache" (with Helen Forrest), "Any Old Time" (with Billie Holiday) and "All Dressed Up And No Place To Go".
As in most soundtracks, there are some FX that are impossible to remove.
I've reworked this v2 soundtrack, minimizing them where possible and correcting the order of all tracks and eliminating the duplicates to exactly match the film.
I also want to thank 'Soundguy28' for providing the original track list template and some of the original DVD tracks. "Amboss Polka (radio music clip)" and "Movie Music" are included for completeness but are inherently loaded with background sounds.
I think however, you'll find this version listenable and a good representation of the film.
Enjoy!
