INTRADA Announces: CHARADE Music Composed and Conducted by HENRY MANCINI INTRADA MAF 7121 With this premiere release of the original film recording of Henry Mancini's score to the 1963 film Charade, Intrada helps Universal Pictures celebrate their centennial with one of Mancini's most famous film scores. Scored in the same period as Hatari!, Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther, Mancini was able to turn out another hit tune —both instrumental and song versions (with lyrics by Johnny Mercer) of his main theme that made the Billboard charts. And the film offered ample opportunity for pop and novelty source music, most of which found their way onto Mancini’s original re-recorded Charade album. That left Mancini’s dramatic underscore MIA—and as this new album shows, the composer’s genuine film music is every bit as distinctive and entertaining as his pop tunes. Playing against Maurice Binder’s whirligig animation patterns, Mancini’s main title tune for cimbalom over Latin percussion rhythms establishes a mood of mystery and intrigue before strings sweeten it into pure romance. Mancini’s melody plays as a wistful, lonely love theme at several points in the film, providing a common thread throughout the score. For this album, Intrada had access to the complete mono elements stored in Universal's vaults. The elements were in perfect condition providing a crisp and detailed sound. Charade places the glamorous duo of Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant in Paris, in the middle of a suspenseful, romantic mystery. Hepburn plays Regina Lambert, a bored Parisian wife unhappy with her diplomat husband— until she returns home from a vacation to find he’s been killed. Grant is Peter Joshua, a handsome British agent who wants to help Regina unravel the mystery of her husband’s death—or does he? It turns out the late Mr. Lambert stole a quarter of a million dollars from a WWII payroll and now his three menacing accomplices (played by Ned Glass, George Kennedy and James Coburn) are convinced Regina knows where the money is hidden. Just whose side is Joshua really on? INTRADA MAF 7121 Retail Price: $19.99 Available Now For track listing and sound samples, please visit http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7576/.f |

Great stuff. Looking at the movies that have been released (or about to be released) under the "Universal 100th Anniversary" branding makes some exciting possibilities for soundtracks that have not gotten proper treatment. Is this "Universal 100th Anniversary" series going to continue throughout the upcoming years? |

I know it's a little sleepy around here, what with Memorial Day and all. So this response may seem underwhelming. But what a fantastic pair of releases! And congratulations on the new association with Universal! |

Fun score to a really enjoyable movie (commonly referred to as the "greatest Hitchcock film that Hitch never directed"). The Universal line is what really gets me excited. I am hoping and praying that everything from an expanded DRACULA (John Williams) to possibly things like MARNIE, PSYCHO I and II, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, JAWS 2, and even some of the AIRPORT movies could eventually become a reality, if the masters are anywhere to be found.

I hope you guys are drowning in orders today! You deserve it. Producing soundtrack CDs are one thing- knocking off two massive grails in one felt swoop is nothing short of inspirational. God only know what else you have up your sleeves. Can't wait to find out! |

I like the evolution of the Universal globe in films over the years. The little plane puttering around the earth before the opening of Bride Of Frankenstein, love that! I like the way it changed over the years and it looks damn good on the top of this disc. |
