Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Untouchables, director Brian De Palma's reworking of the classic television series about G-man Elliot Ness and his war against organised crime in 1920's Chicago, was a major hit, making a star of Kevin Kostner and providing showcase roles for Sean Connery and Robert De Niro. De Palma has always placed importance on having a powerful musical score and having worked with the Italian composer Pino Donaggio on Dressed to Kill, Blow Out and Body Double, he teamed-up with Ennio Morricone, the most famous Italian film composer of all, responsible for scoring the gangster classic Once Upon A Time in America. The album opens, somewhat strangely, with the heroic and rousing "End Title" before unfolding through a canvas of intricately woven suspense writing, "Victorious" fanfares, a lyrical theme for "Ness And His Family" and some sardonic commentary via harmonica. Action cues such as "On The Rooftops" have tremendous metronomic drive, the climactic "Machine Gun Lullaby" making great use of a musical box motif, echoing the composer's "Carillon" from For A Few Dollars More. Morricone would reunite with De Palma for Casualties of War, while for the director's next gangster thriller Carlito's Way, Patrick Doyle crafted an equally accomplished score. --Gary S. Dalkin
