Title: Camp out on the Late Night Lawn of 80s Memorabilia
Review: Elmer Bernstein is probobly best known for his work on the 80s smash "Ghostbusters," especially for his clever transition themes and quasi-romantic and sometimes humerous segues. Anyone familiar with the visual material of "Spies Like Us" will experience the well known "audio paint brush" effect of coupling music and image. What is lacking, however are the two strongest musical moments in the film, namely the title track by Paul McCartney and the mind-bending "Soul Finger" by The Bar-Kays. If these moments were to be found on this disc, the essance of the 'Spies Like Us' experience might remain a little more intact. For any fans of the post-Saterday Night Live era of campy comedies, the light-hearted leitmotifs of this film music master are a worthwhile side trip.
