Fantastic piece. I have suite on vinyl. It is SUPPOSED to be glitzy. That's what the movie is all about. Contrast btwn the real work and the glitz.

SO very solly, this arrangement is over arranged AND composer know his Jazz voicings but forgot a forcefull MELODY LINE> Something like Cake decorations without the cake.

One of the greatest film themes by the master Riksen..and the great "Laura" theme. I have a CD of all the music from TB&TB..all the studio sessions including alternate version of the film's opening theme.

Hi SteveTheMovieGuy1!

What an honor! Why such a tease? This lovely tribute that you've uploaded is from one of the most exquisite scores that this world has ever heard! Please give us all a break and expand on this with stills, more clips or even some video! What an elegant work you've already performed. I thank you, and I'm honored!
