5.0 out of 5 stars Foxy and Underrated, October 31, 2001

This review is from: After The Fox: Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack [Enhanced CD] (Audio CD)

I consider this to be one of Burt Bacharach's best scores. It has certainly been underrated and that is a real shame. Bacharach ingeniously intertwines Italian motifs within a lighthearted humorous score composed for this very funny film which pokes fun at internationally produced films as the glory days of Hollywood were in their death throes. Directed by Vittorio De Sica Peter Sellers portrays the elusive Italian criminal "the Fox" who concocts an outrageous heist with an unknowing over-the-hill Hollywood hunk Victor Mature to hijack gold bullion into the country. Bacharach's score on this soundtrack CD is pure fun and really captures the music that was so integral and memorable from the movie. In true 60's form Peter Sellers and the Hollies perform the main title song.

5.0 out of 5 stars That Very Elusive Fox, October 12, 2000

Note: this review is for the SOUNDTRACK, not the video!

This is a fun and well thought out score from composer Burt Bacharach circa 1966. The main title song sung by Peter Sellers and the Hollies is very catchy. Bacharach's musical flair for humor is very evident here as he incorporates an authentic Italian sound to it (probably an influence from the film's director Vittorio De Sica). The music goes perfectly with the story of a crook (Sellers) who pretends to be a moviemaker as a cover for his big gold heist. I always liked this very funny movie and album and consider them to be among Seller's and Bacharach's best. Both entertainment forms were badly neglected and overlooked.
