sultry noir music.......2002-12-22

Perfect background music for those of us who love film noir.Sexy,sultry,evocative.Musicians are wonderful,and the audio quality is perfect.So..slip into something more comfortable,and watch for (your) Bogie or Bacall to walk in the door!

Gorgeous, dark film noir recordings.......1999-01-17

Flawlessly played and recorded... beautiful arrangements, wonderful backdrop music for conducting an extra-marital affair or planning a double cross.... makes my living room turn black and white and rainy when played. A favorite of mine.

Film Noir Bar-Mitzvah Band Nightmare............1998-10-09

Perfect Music for the "Casablanca Lounge" at the Radisson, Minneapolis.

Soul-less.

Great, jazzy, rainy night in the city music........1998-07-15

Images of Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe private eye gliding through a rainy night in 1930's L.A. come to mind.

Great, moody, "lone sax in the night" set against a lush orchestral background bringing images of neon lit rainy nights in the big city.

This album grew on me the more I listened to it. highly recommended if you like late night jazz.

Average customer rating: Skip this CD Great soundtracks "from the original films!" Good for fans It's at today missing for me. Not For Audiophiles, But Wonderful for the Rest of Us!

Skip this CD.......2007-02-13

This CD seems to have gone out of its way to trnsfer the worst VHS tapes to CD Audio and package it as classic film scores. The short excerpts are very bad and fade out just as the tempo begins to build. If you love film noir, skip this CD. If you are interested in film noir, skip this CD.

Great soundtracks "from the original films!".......2006-08-06

I feel compelled to respond to some of the negative criticism below. This is not a collection of restored and re-recorded scores by a modern orchestra. These are the original soundtracks from the films themselves. Given that they are in mono and suffer from age, they cannot possibly be judged by the same criteria as a modern recording. BUT, as a collection of noir soundtracks, they are superb. It's a huge list of title tracks from great films noir. And, as many of these are unavailable as restored and re-recorded scores, it is a wonderful disc to have in your collection. If the only scores you like are high-fidelity, however, then this is definitely not for you. But this disc also can't be judged by those sonic standards. For those of you who desire to listen to some of this more obscure film music--just as it would sound playing the video on your TV--then this is a great disc to have.

Good for fans.......2006-01-18

Given that there are very few Film Noir compilation soundtrack cd's available, I'd say this one works just fine for what it is. It's certainly not the most polished work, but it does have a lot of film scores and no fan should be without it. I'm glad I bought it.

It's at today missing for me........2006-01-15

I am waiting this CD in my home. At today it's missing. Take note of this,please.

Not For Audiophiles, But Wonderful for the Rest of Us!.......2006-01-13

I thought that this disc was quite possibly the best attempt so far at cataloging some of the best themes of the film-noir genre. It leaves out the dialogue snippets that break up the feel and mood of the music, and some of the selections are, quite simply, marvelous. Also, the compilers here were brave enough to include some of the rarer and seldom-mentioned noirs for inclusion here. If you're an audiophile, you must realize that these recordings are SIXTY YEARS OLD, for goodness sakes. I'll never understand why some people put so much stake in stereo sound and crystal clear remastering. I happen to feel that the gritty mono (which really isn't nearly as bad as has been suggested) heightens the hardbitten feel of these works. So, if you're someone who enjoys authentic film music, give this a shot! If you're expecting something butchered, repackaged, and changed around for modern tastes, don't bother with this collection!
