Description for MIKL S R ZSA Dead Men Don t Wear Plaid Original Soundtrack Holdridge UniversalSO Prometheus OOP

Music : Classical : Lossless



In 1995 the Dutch Prometheus label released this CD of Miklós Rózsa's final film score, for the Steve Martin comedy "Dead Men don't Wear Plaid". By 1982, Rózsa's Hollywood career had come full circle, and it is only fitting that his last contribution to the art form of film music was "Dead Men", which is made up to a large extent of clips from vintage Hollywood film noirs, featuring Humphrey Bogart, Alan Ladd, James Cagney, Robert Taylor, Charles Laughton etc - all "interacting" with the detective, Steve Martin. The film presented Rózsa with the somewhat ironic challenge of having to write new music for scenes for which he had written the original score back in the 1940s!

While "Dead Men" cannot be considered one of Rózsa's greatest scores it is a very satisfactory and entirely characteristic close to a glorious career in the movies, and if you like his 1940s noir/thriller scores, you'll like this one too. BTW: The reason the music was conducted by fellow film composer Lee Holdridge is that Rózsa fell ill shortly before the recording sessions and could not conduct - he did observe Holdridge's work over the telephone though.

"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).
