Very Disappointing
5 Mar 2002
Format:Audio CD
I found this release very disappointing.
Like the other reviewers, I found the sound quality awful, but my biggest disappointment was the exclusion of Marilyn's vocal rendition of the song "Some Like It Hot" that was released on a EP {extended play) when the movie first came out. Not only is it very rare {it turns up on some compilation Marilyn CD's}, but its also fun, and definately would have made this already short CD more complete and appealing. This movie soundtrack deserves better.
{Added note: MGM did a superb job of their release of the soundtrack to "The Misfits", finding never before released music from the movie in their vaults and beautifully restoring it to an unbelievable sound quality. Surely they could do the same with "Some Like It Hot".??}

Marilyn walks, and is a hit in some like it hot.
30 Mar 2001
Format:Audio CD
MARILYN IS WONDERFUL IN SOME LIKE IT HOT. her 3 songs are wonderful. It also includes Arthur Miller's (husband at that time) favorite song 'I'm thru with love' which she does beautifully. She does a take off on Betty Boop in the song 'I wanna be loves by you' and ends the song with the 'boop poo pee do' betty boop sign off.Her song Running wild sets the tone for the whole movie. It is not surprising that this song is played as an instrumental in the opening titles. The instrumental 'sugar blues' provides the perfect erotic music background for her entrance into the film walking down the ramp at the train station, while smoke whistles blow from the train. What an entrance..She steals the scene from Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon dressed in drag.Now many years after she died, we can notice what a good actress she was, and a very nice singer in spite of not having a voice like Barbra Streisand. But listen to how she phrases her lyrics. The vhs video has been remastered and now provides a good quality for viewing the film. The CD is fine for listening.Enjoy, enjoy, one of the best comedies ever made, directed by the one and only Billy Wilder. CERTAINES L'AIMENT CHAUD.

Not Deutsch's Best, but Worthy
24 Feb 2001
Format:Audio CD
Nice packaging in this one of a series of reissues from RykoPalm, who also gave us reissues of CARRIE and LAST TANGO IN PARIS. Per previous comments, there is some erosion of quality.
If ANYONE AT RYKO IS LISTENING... would you please reissue ADOLPH Deutsch's great score for that other Wilder film, THE APARTMENT. That one had the hit theme, guys! And some sultry sweet jazz to boot.
