 Where is the end title music?
Submitted on: 2009-11-14 |
|
| I thought this was a great movie and the soundtrack is equally great. I bought the CD hoping to hear the very emotional music at the end of the movie when the credits appeared. They substituted the cheesy New York New York instrumental after Liza's vocal. This CD is so great, I just wished they would have finished with the music that really completed the journey the main characters had: struggle, disappointment, and joy that was found in that final instrumental piece. |

Liza's in fine form

Liza was in fine form for this 1977 film. Everything was top notch, although the film was less enthusiastically received than everyone hoped. That said, Liza was in good voice, toning herself down and really being true to the period. The instrumentals (with Georgie Auld on sax) were excellent and the other singers -- Diahann Abbott, the then Mrs. DeNiro, in a solid turn on "Honeysuckle Rose" and Mary Kay Place as a band singer hired to replace Liza when her character split from DeNiro's -- are both spot-on and winning.
The original album had great artwork that's sadly omitted from the CD, but that's the way that goes.
And, yes, Liza's version of NY, NY stands out as the definitive version. I'm a big Sinatra fan, too, but Liza owns that piece of musical real estate. |

| This CD is an excellent recording. Liza Minelli has one of the BEST versions of the song New York, New York ever performed. The orchestration is top notch. |

Classic & An All-Time Favorite
Submitted on: 2002-11-19 |

| One of my all-time favorite films & soundtrack albums with great big-band era music. The numbers were arranged by the late Ralph Burns (Cabaret & All That Jazz), who had worked in that era and knew it well. Liza Minnelli used singers like Peggy Lee for vocal inspiration, and the film even has her doing an imitation of Lee while recording a demo, Kander & Ebb's "There Goes the Ballgame". In fact, you wouldn't know it was Liza, just hearing her sing the '40s-era numbers! (I wish she'd incorporate that singing style again, especially now that her voice has changed somewhat.) Of course, she reverts back to her usual Judy/Liza showbiz-belting style when her character becomes a Hollywood star. In fact, the uncut version of "Happy Endings" is a wonderful tribute to and affectionate satire of big '50s showbiz musicals, like "A Star is Born". (Liza's character and relationship to DeNiro's in the movie, however, are based more on the real-life story of big-band girl-singer and movie star Doris Day than Garland.) In my opinion, this is one of the best big-band recordings made after that era had faded and a wonderful Minnelli recording, as well. This is also the film where she introduced "But the World Goes 'Round" and - of course - "Theme from New York, New York". |
