3.0 out of 5 stars good, September 9, 2010
Over the past year I have really come to love Henry Mancini, and each soundtrack I have explored, slowly delving into this master's work, I have loved. This includes Breakfast At Tiffany's,, Wait Until Dark, the Mr. Lucky TV score, and even the later, expectation shattering Life Force.

What Did You Do In The War Daddy is my least favorite yet. That does not make it weak. The title, of course, implies a throwback, and even for 1966, this is. There is a lot of Polka, some smaltzy 1920s jazz, even a march.

None of the blues Mancini signs many soundtracks with is here. In and of itself that is fine, it would not fit. But Mancini does not do much fresh with the throwback styles he uses here. Any decent arranger can replicate these styles, but I love Mancini so much, I expect a unique twist.

That never emerges here. For what this is it is fine, but for Mancini, it is sub par.
