I bought this cd at Amazon.co.uk (before it was available here), 'cos I've always been a big fan of Mancini's music, and of Blake Edwards' and Peter Sellers' 1960's movies, in fact I love Sellers' screen persona. This album was a must have for me, it was a matter of buying it or buying it. Only regret, it does not include Claudine Longet's original vocal version for "Nothing To Lose", but anyway it's just great. If you like this cd, I recommend to you, both: "Pink Panther" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" soundtracks, plus "Martinis with Mancini".

I must apologise because I don't have the CD with me right now, so I won't try to describe each song, etc. What I will say is that I have played the CD a couple of times and have enjoyed it from the start. Apart from this, I have seen the film countless of times and am a very big fan of it, to say the least! I simply had to purchase the soundtrack for its 60's style music ('The Party' and its cool jazz pieces, etc.) - They just don't make music like this anymore! So, YES, I absolutely recommend this soundtrack. Yeah, I can even say that, in my opinion, it's a very well mastered and arranged CD, etc. So, definitely go for it.

Cool jazzy party music for retro-maniacs. PS, the movie is one of the funniest of all times.

I have been wanting this CD for such a long time, that my expectations were too high. Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful, and takes me back to times when cocktail music was the embodyment of a chic party. I just think that when you hear the soundtrack while watching the movie, it is way more charming.
Still happy to have purchased it.
