Synopsis

Product Description
This is a limited edition release of 3000 units. BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents the premiere soundtrack release of Henry Mancinis score for WITHOUT A CLUE, including the the complete musical score, along with the orchestral accompaniment for the period songs and source music used in the film as bonus tracks. Set in Victorian England, WITHOUT A CLUE takes the mythology of Sherlock Holmes and turns it completely on its head by revealing that its Dr. Watson (Ben Kingsley) who is the brilliant detective while Sherlock Holmes is played by a bumbling actor (Michael Caine) to keep up appearances. Along for the ride are Jeffrey Jones (FERRIS BUELLER S DAY OFF) as Inspector Lestrade, Paul Freeman (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) as Professor Moriarity and Lysette Anthony (KRULL) as a clever femme fatale. WITHOUT A CLUE is supported by a dramatic orchestral score composed and conducted by the great Henry Mancini. The music plays counterpoint to the humorous antics of the World s Greatest Detective , in a style that only Henry Mancini could provide. Born In Cleveland, Ohio in 1924 but brought up in Pennsylvania, Henry Mancini began his career playing with the Glenn Miller band. Shortly afterwards, he worked for six years at Universal, working on comedies and horror films. His first big success came with THE GLENN MILLER STORY, which allowed him to score other films and, in the process, change the style of film scoring by injecting jazz elements into the traditional orchestral arrangements of the time. In his career, he was nominated for 18 Oscars and won 4. In addition, he won 20 Grammys and 2 Emmys, has had over 500 works published and is considered one of the most commercially successful film composers of all time. He collaborated frequently with writer/director Blake Edwards on projects such as PETER GUNN, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY S, DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, the PINK PANTHER films and VICTOR/VICTORIA. The booklet contains liner notes written by noted author Randall D. Larson.
