NEW Bell, Book and Candle Original Soundtrack Score CD Harkit Records RARE OOP

Description: Bell, Book and Candle - Motion Picture Soundtrack Score CDVery Rare, and Out-of-PrintBrand New (*Unsealed) & in Mint Condition! *Most UK manufactured CDs are not sealed as they are in the United States and some other countries. England's Harkit Records continues to mine the retrograde treasure trove of 1960s film music with three new releases that are a delight of the period. Making its first foray onto CD, George Duning's lighthearted and theatrical score for 1959's BELL, BOOK, AND CANDLE (HRKCD 8099) is reissued from the Colpix LP with an additional track, a vocal track from French Actor Philippe Clay who appears in a cabaret act in the film. Duning's score is gently jazzy, mostly comprised of easy listening tracks the blend into and out of the source music used prominently in the film. Some cues are rather bland, others really standout (like the show tune-like Main Title, the spooky mysterioso take on the Main Title melody incarnated into a moaning, witchlike vocal of "The Spell," and its more lushly romantic variant, "Pyewacket Returns", the night club jazz of "Way Out Calypso" and a sultry arrangement of Arlen/Kohler's "Stormy Weather.") It's an enjoyable enough score although not exceedingly dramatic. Duning coats the film with a pleasing polish of melodic gloss and enough toe-tapping riffs to enhance the stagy drama of the production, which is really all the film needed. The movie's subtext (that it may have been more about 1950s homosexuality than witchcraft, in which case Duning's sensuous melodies seem all the more apt. Tracklist Time 1.
