Format:Audio CD
I absolutely fell in love with this Movie and as soon as the credits went up, I turned to my friend and said "I have to buy that soundtrack", and I was not disappointed! Every track is such a classic, with Duffy fitting in like a dream! The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 instead of a full house, is that the original instumentals sound lovely the first time and even the second time...but after that I find myself skipping onto the next track asap!

Watching this movie in the theatre, it only took me some ten to fifteen minutes to realize i HAD to own this soundtrack, and now I do. the film itself was above average, but nothing I'd tell all my family and friends is a must-see. The soundtrack, however, is really, REALLY good, a wonderful sequence for late-night listening or to relax to.
What I cannot approve of, however, and which actually make me take away one star from the perfect five it really does deserve, is the poor sound mixing. It's almost like someone took all the tracks from their own respective record and threw them all together without ever considering pushing the "normalize" button, which means volume levels are all over the place, some songs being LOUD (as in, "as loud as you should expect the mixing of an album to be by the end of the first decade of the 21st century) and some being of a CD quality you haven't heard from since CD was invented in the mid-80's, which is, of cours,e not acceptable. Not only that, but on some systems I've played this CD through ALL the music becomes mid-80's era, which means you have to turn it up so loud as to risk scaring innocent bystanders to death whenever the NEXT record is put on, should you forget turning down the volume before that. Yes, that's a big paragraph of complaint when it comes to just remove one star from an otherwise five-star review, but then again, I find it an important enough issue.
To sum it up: Buy the album, love the music, hate anyone in charge of sound mixing.

Just when you thought all the great records from the 60s had been thoroughly plundered, along comes this collection of forgotten gems. And such gems too, all remixed to an unbelievable quality. 'A Summer Place' surely never sounded so good. Fantastic!
Worth getting just for Floyd Cramer's 'On The Rebound' used so well in the titles. The film is bound to create in revival in Juliette Greco. They don't make them like these any more...
Great film too.
