4.0 out of 5 stars Fans rejoice!, June 28, 2000
Generally known as a forgettable score to a forgettable film, this new release of Supergirl should prove to be quite a surprise. This score is loaded with subtle qualities rather than overwhelming themes like some other composers' scores. It is unassuming, yet powerful, just like the title character. In its newly restored and expanded format it is truly a treat for fans like myself who experienced this charming movie in theaters in 1984. I recommend it to fans of the film and fans of Jerry Goldsmith alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great musical score, June 27, 2000
By A Customer
Almost all of the music on this CD is excellent. The best song is #1, the opening score. Jerry Goldsmith does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of Supergirl and the movie. This is a must-have for fans of the movie or Supergirl.

5.0 out of 5 stars "is it a bird, a plane and not Superman...but SUPERGIRL", December 6, 2001
Another comic-strip Superhero comes to the big screen---Director Jeannot Szwarc sets the stage with Peter O'Toole, Faye Dunaway (Selena-evil sorceress) and Helen Slater was given the nod to play Kara/Linda Lee---alias SUPERGIRL...even Mia Farrow and Brenda Vaccaro showed up with supporting roles, to try and help things along.

If anyone could save this film, it had to be our favorite composer JERRY GOLDSMITH---with credits under his belt of ~ "OUR MAN FLINT"(1966)---"THE SAND PEBBLES"(1966)---"PLANET OF THE APES"(1968)---"THE OMEN"(1976)---"ALIEN"(1979)---and the score that started a whole new trend in SCI-FI THEMES ~"STAR TREK:THE MOTION PICTURE"(1979)---but in the next paragraph let's take a look at this one-of-a-kind score at hand.

Opening track "OVERTURE", over six minutes of pure power and symphonic majesty---"ARRIVAL ON EARTH/FLYING BALLET", gives the John Williams flying theme a run for its money---the closing "THE FINAL SHOWDOWN & VICTORY/END TITLE-SHORT VERSION", blending all themes together into one twelve minute treat---hats off to The National Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus---and naturally our conductor and composer who is certainly deserving of a standing ovation ~ Jerry Goldsmith (SUPERCOMPOSER).

Total Time: 76:27 on 23 Tracks ~ Silva Screen Records SSD-1025 ~ (1993)

Little does anyone realize this, but Goldsmith was contracted to score the first Superman. He ran into some conflicts and so Williams scored the film. Read more
