Misfits [Deluxe Edition] (1961)

Alex North was known for his soundtrack work with people who, like him, came out of the theater, especially director Elia Kazan, who brought him into the movies to score Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The Misfits reunited him with Miller, who wrote the screenplay, and introduced him to director John Huston, with whom he went on to work frequently thereafter. All of which is to say that this was a happy project for him, even if The Misfits is mainly remembered today as the last picture made by Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe before each died. North's varied score is typically contemporary (it even boasts a rock & roll track, "Paddleball") and jazzy, with strong melodic themes and a melodramatic tone appropriate to the mood of the film. The Rykodisc reissue of the originally skimpy 1961 United Artists soundtrack album adds enough material to call this the first real version of the score on disc. And as usual with this series of reissues, you get good liner notes, the movie poster, and, on the CD-ROM portion, the film's trailer, which oddly begins with a series of still photographs of Arthur Miller, whose name is never mentioned! ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Read Less
