5.0 out of 5 stars Rififi ideal for fans of classic French "tough guy" movies, September 29, 2002

This review is from: Du Rififi Au Cine (Original Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

For those who are enraptured by the Parisian underworld as it was depicted by some of the great auteurs of French cinema during the 50s and 60s, this disc is essential!

Including the themes from such classic movies as Melville's "Bob Le Flambeur" and Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player", "Du Rififi Au Cine" allows one the opportunity to recreate the ambience of the French noirs in the comfort of one's own home.

The sound is generally of a very high quality, (though the last track is flawed, perhaps through source tape decay?) and a lavishly illustrated liner note booklet acompanies the CD. In addition, it cannot be forgotten that all tracks have been composed by the main names in French movie music, including Paul Misraki and Georges Delerue.

I found that "Rififi" has inspired me to search out some of the films, from which music has been included, that I had never had reason to see before, and this in itself has been highly rewarding. Films such as Jean Pierre Melville's "Le Doulos" (aka The Finger Man), which stars a young Jean Paul Belmondo, are difficult to find, but absolutely worth the effort.

I honestly cannot reccommend this first disc in the series enough, and I assume that the further compilations would be equally good in dealing with the music of films from later decades. This is the soundtrack to a golden era in French cinema, and is not to be missed.

4.0 out of 5 stars French film noir, August 3, 2009

It's very difficult to find unique film noir soundtracks. This is a great compilation of French film noir soundtracks! I wish there was more than just one track from the film "Du Rififi chez les Hommes", but these are all very good, setting the perfect mood for film noir. The track "Street in Manhattan" and "Theme de Bob" are my current favorites. This is a great find!
