5.0 out of 5 stars Great score of a great drama movie, April 29, 2011

This review is from: The Cobweb [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

The Disc contains 2 movies scores:

Track 1 - 5 "Edge of the City" with a lenght of 14:33

Track 6 - 16 "The Cobweb" with total time of 36:41

Total Disc Time: 51:14

This Pressing is limited to 3000 Copies and both scores are composed by Leonard Rosenman. The Case contains are 24-Page-Booklet with information about the movies/score:

The Score for Edge of the City are incomplet (more tracks haven't survived). And also there is the information, that James Dean took piano lessons at Leonard Rosenman and their relationship blossomed into a strong friendship (maybe there was more?).

About The Cobweb: the score is great to listen. Every dramatic moment comes out.
The movie itself has a stunning Cast: Richard Widmark, John Kerr, Gloria Grahame, Charles Boyer, Lillian Gish, Lauren Bacall, Oscar Levant, Tommy Rettig, Susan Strasberg.

Typically for drama movies in 50/60s: one patients homosexuality was translated into a "mother complex"

In few words: the cd/score is great. Buy it and enjoy a great sound.
