Title: Talking throughout soundtrack - do not buy
Product review: What a disappointment to buy this CD. The composer, Anton Karas, had written a very memorable soundtrack for this movie, one of the most charming and original pieces and arrangements of any soundtrack, up there for 1940s classic movie soundtracks with "Laura" by Raksin, Korngold's "The Sea Hawk" or Kosma's "Les Enfants du Paradis," so what a shock to discover that all tracks have dialogue from the movie - that is right, ALL, even the main theme at the beginning (Track 2). Who can enjoy Karas' music beneath the spoken track - indeed, one can hear a most varied and interesting variation on his theme that would be very enjoyable to hear without the babble! Avoid this CD at all costs!
