It's All Good And It's All Sweet!
by a soundtrack collector (April 6, 2006)

This is one of those things that proved to be a dream come true!

From 1958 another fine release in the series of film score recordings from United Artist. The original soundtrack music from Erskine Caldwell's story of sweat drenched frustrations in rural southern USA scored by Elmer Bernstein, a man whose name, to me, is synonymous with gritty tough ass 50's jazz rooted film scoring without equal!

The film stars Robert Ryan as a dirt poor farmer obsessed with finding a fabled stash of gold buried somewhere on his unproductive farm land.

The score is a treasure chest unto itself! Cool, hot, bluesy sounds created by a true master and displayed beautifully within the soundtrack of an exceptional film directed by Anthony Mann.

Jacket of the original L.P. release features lines notes by Caldwell himself explaining that the music contained within the grooves is being performed by premier West Coast studio musicians who cannot be identified by name due to contract restraints.

Needless to say, the percussion of the great Shelly Manne can be heard loud and clear during the opening title! *****
