 Original SoundtrackLet's Make Love [Bonus Tracks] Release Date 1960 Label Sony Music Distribution Rating:  This is the original motion picture soundtrack to Marilyn Monroe's penultimate cinematic effort, Let's Make Love (1960). She co-starred with her then-beau, Yves Montand, as Amanda Dell, an up-and-coming actress who gets a part playing opposite Montand's character, millionaire Jean-Marc Clement. The lightweight comedic affair was a perfect vehicle for Monroe's arguably limited dramatic range. One of the film's most memorable scenes is the performance of Cole Porter's &"My Heart Belongs to Daddy." The over the top camp and pseudo-sensuality perhaps unintentionally parodies Monroe's sex kitten image. The same can be said of the Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen title song, which is offered in different arrangements as respective solos for both Monroe and Montand. It is English actor/singer Frankie Vaughan, that saves &"Specialization" and &"Incurable Romantic" from Monroe's hapless incompetence. His solo, &"Hey You With the Crazy Eyes," is a breezy pop tune with real character and stands as one of the highlights. Noted jazz pianist/composer/arranger Gerald Wiggins scored the film's incidental tracks &"Latin One" and &"Strip City." While his contributions are brief, if not somewhat understated, they provide much-needed musical compensation. Inevitably, there will be cinemaniacs who will give this soundtrack a higher evaluation, presumably on the merit of Monroe's association alone. Lindsay Planer, Rovi |
