A DISNEY GEM IS FINALLY RESCUED FROM THE VAULTS
It is indeed a pleasure to have Disney release the original soundtrack to it's 1967 classic "The Happiest Millionaire" on compact disc! They even kept the original album artwork with the old Buena Vista Records logo in the corner [!]
I saw this movie for the first time ever in all it's road-show glory on DVD and immediately fell in love with it. I am a BIG Lesley Ann Warren fan and she sparkles in her film debut! The entire cast gives their all in each and every number. The multi-talented Tommy Steele makes the most of his big numbers ("I'll Always Be Irish", "Let's Have A Drink On It" and "Fortuosity").
This is a must-have for any musical and/or Disney fan. Now if they would only re-release "The One and Only, Genuine Original Family Band" (The movie AND the soundtrack).

Yes Yes Yes They have finally put out the soundtrack on CD.
I love this movie and I have the movie on Video * DVD.

But I was so happy when I saw the soundtrack released.

The remastered recordings are great and their not scrathy like most soundtradcks. I love this soundtrack. Walt Disney would be happy to see this available again.

a superb, under-rated score
The Sherman Brothers' score for THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE is one of their greatest, and most under-rated. Hopefully, this new reissue of the original soundtrack album will help its reputation.

There are some gorgeous songs in this score, including Lesley Ann Warren's "Valentine Candy", her magical duet with John Davidson in "Are We Dancing?" and Tommy Steele's infectious "Fortuosity".

However, its a shame that during the remastering process, they did not restore the dance interlude in "I'll Always Be Irish" or the additional music in the Overture (as heard in the recent Road Show DVD version).

Other choice numbers include the hilarious "There Are Those", with Geraldine Page and Gladys Cooper; John Davidson's spirited "Detroit"; and Lesley Ann Warren's duet with Joyce Bulifant singing the delightful "Bye-Yum Pum Pum".

Fans will relish this long-overdue soundtrack to one of the greatest Disney films ever made.
