Title: John Barry - Where Are You?
Product review: I vowed that unless I heard 'proper' Bond music in Casino Royale, I would never waste my money on another Bond film.Unfortunately, the soundtrack provided a form of compromise. What we got was a 'Barry-fied' mixture of action-music and strings, the tunes of which I cannot for the life of me recall a day later.John Barry was a genius. I remember running home from the cinema after seeing the Bond films of the 60s, with the music still playing loudly in my head. Even the more unpopular Bond films such as OHMSS, were blessed with wonderful, stirring, immortal themes. I saw OHMSS three times for the music alone! (Ok, ...and Diana Rigg).As others have said on this thread: John Barry is still alive. Bond actors have come and gone, but he was the true success behind the franchise. And he hasn't to my knowledge even been knighted!!!Maybe David Arnold will grow on me, but he does compare badly in my humble opinion.
