Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

In 2000, the American Film Institute selected the irreverent cross-dressing farce of director Billy Wilder and writer I.A.L. Diamond as the funniest movie ever made. The film's period-evoking prowess (Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play musicians who witness Chicago's infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, then disguise themselves as women to flee with an all-girl band featuring Marilyn Monroe) is one of the key elements to its success, with composer Adolph Deutsch's manic pastiche of 20's hot jazz and pop its perfect musical foil. But while the Broadway veteran turned Hollywood Oscar-winner (for his MGM adaptations of Annie Get Your Gun Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack........2006-08-19

The story of this movie was "adopted" for a Jule Styne stage musical (called "Sugar" on Broadway, although the original title was kept for the London production). None of the music from the film was reused, which is a shame. This is one case where Broadway copies Hollywood (badly), rather than the other way around.

The movie was (rather distractingly) filmed in black and white - allegedly to make the "female impersonation" more convincing (probably more a cost cutting exercise). And the sound is really not quite state-of-the-art (of its time) either. I sincerely doubt if we are ever likely to get a better sounding version available than this - there is ultimately a limit to how much recorded sound can be enhanced.

Marilyn Monroe's carefully nurtured "dumb blonde" image tends to conceal the fact that she was a very intelligent actor - and in spite of the limitations of her singing voice, a very good interpreter of a song. Fortunately, the low budget nature of the movie meant that there was no expensive over dubbing of her voice by a professional singer.

Indeed, one of the funniest movies of all time - and the soundtrack makes a great CD to listen to and enjoy in its own right.

3 out of 5 stars not what i expected by varese.......2005-06-08

Well the quality of this cd is a bit better as the zyko edition
of Some like it Hot. I own the record which came out 1976 by United-Artist and i must say even the record is far better as any CD who came out later. so we can hope united artist will may bring it out by themselve once in the future

4 out of 5 stars "Curtis, Lemmon, Monroe, Wilder ~ Adolph Deutsch".......2004-10-02

Varese Records presents the soundtrack to Billy Wilder's classic comedy "Some Like It Hot", featuring Tony Curtis as Joe, Jack Lemmon as Jerry a couple of musicians on the lamb, George Raft as Spats Columbo the mob boss, Pat O'Brien as agent Mulligan and what was one of her best performances Marilyn Monroe as Sugar Kane lead singer of Sweet Sue's Band ~ but the scene stealer in this film is vaudevillian Joe E. Brown as millionaire Osgood Fielding, who has fallen in love with Daphne (Jack Lemmon in disguise) ~ the score by composer and conductor Adolph Deutsch skillfully captures the times of the late '20s.

Many tunes of the period are outstanding ~ but the fun begins with solos by Miss Monroe, the songs "RUNNIN' WILD", I WANNA BE LOVED BY YOU" and "I'M THRU WITH LOVE", her performances in this film have become legendary,she was at the peak of her career in 1959. Just close your eyes and listen to each cue, you can still see the charm, comedy and the cross-dressing humor that made us laugh then and remains so fresh today...gotta love it!

2 out of 5 stars What a rip off!.......2004-09-21

In the original CD release from Rykodisc, we got music aplenty but sloppy sound quality. In this brand new rerelease under a new label, we get better sound quality but less tracks! ARRGH!!

And as if to add insult to injury, the new cover art is terrible--this does NOT look like Marilyn Monroe is the least! It may seem a slight complaint to some, but I loved the cover art of Rykodisc's release much better.

Looks like we'll all have to wait for the next label to pick this one up to do a better job. Better luck next time, I suppose... hopefully the old saying about three being a charm is correct...

3 out of 5 stars When animation had good music.......2005-10-27

Despite the quality of the sound I felt that the music really shone through, that jazzy style that so few people listen to in England since the constant overtaking of decades of worse and worse music into the mainstream charts.

It really made me remember all those old Tom and Jerry animations because the first time I listened to the C.D. it obviously had the full length versions rather than the segments used in the movie but the music was still familiar. It took me about three seconds to connect it to old animation visuals. I'm sure scores from Raymond Scott's albums were also used in T& J.

It's full of really energy expanding pieces on this album, it's defiantely one of those albums you put on when you feel low as a pick-me-up. However, do not play it before bed, you will not sleep!

2 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing.......2002-03-05

I found this release very disappointing.
Like the other reviewers, I found the sound quality awful, but my biggest disappointment was the exclusion of Marilyn's vocal rendition of the song "Some Like It Hot" that was released on a EP {extended play) when the movie first came out. Not only is it very rare {it turns up on some compilation Marilyn CD's}, but its also fun, and definately would have made this already short CD more complete and appealing. This movie soundtrack deserves better.
{Added note: MGM did a superb job of their release of the soundtrack to "The Misfits", finding never before released music from the movie in their vaults and beautifully restoring it to an unbelievable sound quality. Surely they could do the same with "Some Like It Hot".??}

3 out of 5 stars in agreement.......2001-11-13

I'm going to have to totally agree with the other reviewers here on the bad quality of the transfer to compact disc. While I love both the movie and all the music from Some Like it HOt, and I love listening to this, it doesn't sound very clear. It's like listening to a scratchy record.
Maybe it needs to be remastered again? or is the best it can get?
It is very good, a great ensemble of jazzy tunes that all were in the movie including all three of the songs MM sang: Running wild, I'm thru with love, and I wanna be loved by you.
I like how some dialogue is thrown into the mix too. It's a fun soundtrack if you don't mind the quality of the sound.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite soundtracks.......2001-06-18

This is an excellent soundtrack album if you love the movie (like I do!) It contains Marilyn Monroe's three musical numbers, incidental background music, and even some dialogue from the film itself. Some people have complained about the sound quality-the sound is in stereo, but it is defintely not wide-range (you can barely hear that there are two channels of sound). Other than this, the quality was pretty good. Remember that this music was recorded for use on the soundtrack of a movie, so they were not going through extra effort to make it sound better to the home listener. I am not sure whether or not the final film was mixed in stereo or not. Perhaps if someone knows for sure, they could mention it in their review (thanks!)

5 out of 5 stars Marilyn walks, and is a hit in some like it hot........2001-03-30

MARILYN IS WONDERFUL IN SOME LIKE IT HOT. her 3 songs are wonderful. It also includes Arthur Miller's (husband at that time) favorite song 'I'm thru with love' which she does beautifully. She does a take off on Betty Boop in the song 'I wanna be loves by you' and ends the song with the 'boop poo pee do' betty boop sign off.Her song Running wild sets the tone for the whole movie. It is not surprising that this song is played as an instrumental in the opening titles. The instrumental 'sugar blues' provides the perfect erotic music background for her entrance into the film walking down the ramp at the train station, while smoke whistles blow from the train. What an entrance..She steals the scene from Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon dressed in drag.Now many years after she died, we can notice what a good actress she was, and a very nice singer in spite of not having a voice like Barbra Streisand. But listen to how she phrases her lyrics. The vhs video has been remastered and now provides a good quality for viewing the film. The CD is fine for listening.Enjoy, enjoy, one of the best comedies ever made, directed by the one and only Billy Wilder. CERTAINES L'AIMENT CHAUD.

    3 out of 5 stars "Sugar" by any other name would be ..........2006-06-14

    This is the London production of the Jule Styne musical "Sugar".

    The story was taken from the 1959 Marilyn Munroe Movie, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon - but the songs were all original Styne/Merrill numbers.

    "Sugar" (the character played by Munroe in the original movie) is a musician who encounters two fellow female musicians. The catch is that they are really men, who have adopted female disguises in a desperate attempt to escape gangsters who want to eliminate them because they have witnessed a gangland slaying.

    Much of the appeal of the original movie comes from Miss Munroe's "sexy innocence" - and the fine score by Adolph Deutsch. The musical is frankly not really Jule Styne at his best, although the score does have its moments. Tommy Steele is a bit of an acquired taste too.

    One for collectors who want to have their Jule Styne complete (especially if you can't find a copy of the Broadway Version - "Sugar") rather than something you'd rush out to buy, really, but enjoyable enough if you can put Marilyn Munroe and the original (and infinitely better) movie out of your mind.

    5 out of 5 stars Music of Burton Lane.......2006-02-18

    This CD is a real delight as Michael Feinstein is one of my favorite performers. He does a great job with this music by Burton Lane. I have both Volumns of music by Burton Lane and I enjoy listenting to both of these CD's

    5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2000-11-26

    It took awhile for me to enjoy the songs on this CD, but once I did, I couldn't stop listening. There are romantic songs, funny songs, powerful songs. A little something for everyone. If you don't enjoy it at the first listen - don't give up! This CD will definately grow on you!

    4 out of 5 stars Soundtrack songs minus adequate liner notes.......2007-05-30

    This 2-CD set from the obscure label Rajon, first published in 2005, contains what I think are 31 soundtrack songs by Marilyn Monroe, plus the famous "Happy Birthday, Mr. President," sung to President John F. Kennedy, with his brief, amused thank you. The collection kicks off with "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," from GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953), written by Leo Robin and Jule Styne. Not in chronological order the songs covered come from the early LADIES OF THE CHORUS (1949), RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954), THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS (1954), SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959), LET'S MAKE LOVE (1960), among others. The last mentioned, LET'S MAKE LOVE, has a few interesting songs with the film's co-star Yves Montand and Frankie Vaughan: the title song as well as "Incurably Romantic" and "Specialization." The sound quality is acceptable but the lack of adequate liner notes is not. Aside from the song titles and composer credits, the liner notes give no information except a short, superficial biography. The running times of each disc: 55:57 and 39:46. The cover has a luscious black and white photograph of Marilyn.

    This CD is a treasure for me and reminds of the many times my mother played Dennis on sundays as she cooked. Buy this cd with no hesitation- just for the extended mix of Here I Come alone, Jah knows the purchase is worth it. You call yourself dread? Well this will be your ital passport.
