Free Music Review: Hello, Radio Tower! ... Put Down That Phone!
Hit: 3 Stars
I hate writing 3 star reviews, because honestly, the gray area in between 2 and 4 stars is tedious and dull.
I probably have close to 3000 complete albums on my Hard Drive and have vigorously collected soundtracks since before it was cool to do so.
Curious to find out more about the piano pieces that were played by Elliot Carpenter, who played for Dooley Wilson, I purchased this CD hoping to have all my questions answered and hear full versions of some of the background music.
"What's that you're playing?"
"Oh, just a little something of my own ..."
"Stop it, you know what I want to hear."
Well, such was not the case in this instance. This is merely a straight dialogue transfer to disc that's broken into chapters for searching, but playable without breaks if left alone. There are a few songs tacked on at the end which weren't used during the film and considered alternate takes, if you will.
I will say, if you give it a chance, it can be quite interesting to listen to and the liner notes included are a special bonus. The only problem is that this is not something that could be listened to over and over, unlike the quality of the film which I've watched every Sunday for the last decade without fail.
Hoping to have heard more of the score and other pieces, this is a nice edition to my collection, but sadly, not what most of us are looking for.
Casablanca: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
Its exotic locale, the romantic chemistry of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman with a gripping equation of star-crossed romance and hard-boiled valor made Casablanca an Oscar-winning surpise that erased Warner Brothers studio executives' disappointment in George Raft for not signing on as Rick, the suave, mysterious proprietor of the caf? that serves as ground zero for this timeless 1942 classic. Max Steiner's urgent score, and the equally contentious insertion of Dooley Wilson's now indelible saloon reading of "As Time Goes By," has made the film's music an integral piece of this pop cultural puzzle, finally enjoying a formal soundtrack issue more than a half century after theatrical release. As part of Rhino's ambitious soundtrack project with Turner Entertainment, which owns the film, Casablanca is anything but tossed-off, restoring extensive portions of the original score along with evocative dialog excerpts and annotating the history of the film and its sonic counterpart. Here's looking at you, kid. --Sam SutherlandSoundtracks Music CDs
