In years of listening to soundtracks, I have never been disappointed in a Jerry Goldsmith composition. It's almost frightening to realize his credits number over 250, he's *still* putting out 2-4 compositions a year, and they're *still* of a calibre so many composers shoot for...and miss. This gentleman has a never-ending supply, for which I am eternally grateful.
I literally wore out my first cassette tape from this film, and was on the way to wearing out the replacement when it was nicked. The third is on its last legs, too.
Beautiful music? Beyond that. I once described this heart-melting, soul-stirring, I-think-I'll-swoon music as "better than ---"
Ah, well, in case the editors are watching, I'm sure you can figure it out. (There's a chocolate cake recipe by the same name, if you need a hint.)
If the plot of the movie is too much to follow, as some people have noted (hey, after work, the complexities of a Mighty Mouse cartoon are often beyond me), my advice is to pop the soundtrack into the CD/cassette player and decompress. It's my absolute favourite wine and cheese music.
Then, when you're conscious the next day, tackle the plotline. It's worth a watch.
