"I do agree with the others and was mislead of the album. I understood it would be the sound track only, still it is okay for the price. I sure would like to have the sound track without the voices."
Beware Discoforme soundtracks! www.discoforme.ad

"What a rip-off! Discoforme, the maker of this soundtrack and others, makes no effort to bring you the music from this film, it just takes the sound and reproduces it without any refining. A very lazy and negligent method and that gives you a total of only about 10 minutes of music and 35 minutes of yada type talking ON EVERY TRACK. This spoiled it for me, fer sure. If I wanted all that talking, I would have bought the DVD. This is obviously their method/shortcut, as another CD, "Young Man With a Horn", bought at the same time, and also by Discoforme, does the exact same thing...spits on the fine music by Max Steiner, and gives you ongoing CHATTER. Both are marked *50th ANNIVERSARY*. Do not buy either CD, and beware of the DISCOFORME trademark."
A Disappointment

"Stupid me, I should have read the reviews. This is not what I would call a "soundtrack;" it is a recording of the sound portion of the movie, dialogue and all. And, not remastered or anything. You can do as well by taping the movie when it is on TV and dubbing off the sound. Of course, it will be tape, not a CD, but you won't play it a lot anyway."
Talking throughout soundtrack - do not buy
Danny A. Vogel | Chicago, IL, USA | 07/21/2007

"What a disappointment to buy this CD. The composer, Anton Karas, had written a very memorable soundtrack for this movie, one of the most charming and original pieces and arrangements of any soundtrack, up there for 1940s classic movie soundtracks with "Laura" by Raksin, Korngold's "The Sea Hawk" or Kosma's "Les Enfants du Paradis," so what a shock to discover that all tracks have dialogue from the movie - that is right, ALL, even the main theme at the beginning (Track 2). Who can enjoy Karas' music beneath the spoken track - indeed, one can hear a most varied and interesting variation on his theme that would be very enjoyable to hear without the babble! Avoid this CD at all costs!"
