Notes
The superb soundtrack to Orson Welles classic cult noir-thriller from 1958. Often hailed as Mancini's masterpiece, it was his first major soundtrack and features a smorgasbord of styles including smoky Tijuana jazz jive, Afro-Cuban percussion and honky-tonk instrumental jump blues all with a strong rock'n'roll influence. All the tracks here were used as what's known in the movie industry as "source music", which means that the music comes from a visible source such as a jukebox, a radio an orchestra or piano player. Using the music in this way contributed to the realities of Welles locations and provided an unsettling contrast to the vicious characters and action taking place in the seedy town that the movie was set.
