2 out of 5 stars Music from Humphrey Bogar Movies.......2007-06-27

I was disappointed. I thought I would be getting a CD of full length themes from his movies but the CD is exactly what it says. It is from the actual films, in sections and pieces. I can't say it was misrepresented so I guess I was at fault. But I am sorry I bought it.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the original.......2007-06-19

As the previous reviewer rightly pointed out, these are the original recordings from the era the films were made. And yes, the sound is completely different from what we are used to hear when we are turning the CD player on: it's mono, it's partially unsteady and some of the pieces suddenly fade. BUT, it's the REAL thing and it transports the charms and the charisma, inherent to the original ONLY.
Those who prefer the flawless technical perfection of a re-recording better should save their money. But for those who love the movies and their genuine sound, should be perfectly pleased with this release.

2 out of 5 stars not the stuff dreams are made of.......2007-01-03

most of the tracks on this cd are available elsewhere, but what prompts me to give this a low review is the quality of the recording. some of them sound like they were taped off of a tv set showing a warbly print. you can do better elsewhere.

          4 out of 5 stars an answer to "a music fan from Texas".......2000-04-18

          The "Key Largo" version heard on the car commercial is Sarah Vaughn. The CD is called "Jazz Profile" and Amazon has it.

          4 out of 5 stars Reply to inquiry from music fan in Texas.......2000-04-16

          We too searching for Key Largo singer in Acura commercial...think it's Sarah Vaughn on Jazz Profile cd.

          4 out of 5 stars inquiry.......2000-04-12

          Is this the version of "Key Largo" used on a certain car commercial now?

          5 out of 5 stars historically important sessions..........2000-03-02

          These sides aren't nearly as juicy as her verves for she had not really strted using her voice as an instument yet, and she wasn't improvising as much as she wound in a few years, yet these recordings are histoical and enjoyable as well. Her voice always was appealing(and still is to this day) therefore all of her reissues are worth picking up, especially the verve reissues. However this cd has some spectacular songs such as the swinging "Malaguena." Definately recommended to jazz and swing buffs and fans of Anita.

          1 out of 5 stars 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.

          5 out of 5 stars 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.

          4 out of 5 stars 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.

          2 out of 5 stars 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.

          5 out of 5 stars 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!
