5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific stand-alone music with a great '40's feel!, August 29, 1998

This review is from: Dead Again: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack was so beautiful it was used in promos of several other films made afterwards. Patrick Doyle uses strings and brass to recreate the feel of a romantic thriller from the '40's. And like most film music of that period, it feels timeless. The theme music for Roman and Margaret's love is lilting and lovely, while the melodramatic music underscoring the murder and suspense is energizing and terrifying. Wonderful score to play again and again!

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC SCORE, February 3, 2004

Patrick Doyle begun his career with the amazing soundtrack for Henry V. But I think that Dead Again is his best work. Not only he, again, has created beautiful melodies, like It never rains in L.A. But his orchestrations are magnificent.
It reminds you the best Hermann, but with the strength that is always in Doyle's music.
A keeper. You will enjoy either you have seen the movie or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, October 22, 2004

Doyle's score for Branaugh's film is, simply, brilliant! I missed the film in theaters and bought a DVD of the film after hearing his score. It is compelling -- in a way that reminds me of how Herrmann could bring you inside, to the heart of a film. The film itself is a contemporary mystery laden with character and plot development that keeps you at the edge of your seat, beautifully crafted, acted and directed. It is a gem of a film and this, this is a gem of a score!

Most highly recommended.
