Title: Minor North
Product review: Though the Alex North score for the dreary "All Fall Down" is the best thing about the movie, it is not quite up there with "Streetcar", "The Sound And The Fury", nor "Spartacus." It is a jazzy, sensual one, though not quite as steamy as "Hot Spell." It is listeneable, even if you haven't suffered through the overwrought movie about sexual angst in the late 50's and dysfunctional families headed by a domineering and clinging mother. It's all second rate Tennessee Willams at best. But if you collect Golden Era soundtracks, you could do a lot worse. Let's face it any musical score from this man is heads above the junk we're saddled with nowadays. Recommended, but don't have too high expectations. It could very well be Mr North was not that inspired by this assigment.
