Great Soundtracks from Mysteries
Willow
of some film mysteries. I really must search out the music from PETER
GUNN, STACCATO, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, and ANATOMY OF A MURDER.
Oh yes, SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE (that must qualify in some way),
which I played to death on a juke box in the Canadian Rockes one
summer...

There was some pretty good jazz in Kubrick's The Killing (Close enough
to a mystery?)

Would 'Shaft' qualify?

NORTH BY NORTHWEST music score by Bernard Hermann, according to Wikipedia.
The scene with Cary Grant drunk at the wheel of a car hurtling down a road
hugging the coastline is amplified many times over by the music.
Imdb says it's running tomorrow night on TCM

How about the soundtrack to _Spellbound_? Beautiful theremin
sounds, and (so it's told) what Hitchcock told Miklos Rozsa was
"I don't care what kind of music you write for this picture, but
I want the audience to *notice when it stops.*"

Not sure whether it would be classified as a mystery, but "I Want to
Live".
(I even have that loaded on my iPod. ;-D )

Three favorites come to mind, films and scores :
Jerry Goldsmith's "Chinatown" (lush and evocative);
Anton Karas' score for "The Third Man" (perfect fit with the post war Vienna
atmosphere)
and the gorgeous soundtrack for the marvelous thriller set in Indonesia,
"The Year of Living Dangerously" by Maurice Jarre.(The sountrack recording
of which is maddeningly incomplete..You have to watch the film to hear all
including Vangelis' stunning L'Enfant theme from Opera Sauvage and "Beim
Schlafengehen" from Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs"; )
Not mystery necessarily, but I am addicted to (any) Ennio Morricone's film
score... particularly "The Mission." Breathtaking.

The arrangement of "Harlem Nocturne" for the revived Mike Hammer series
(Stacey Keach) is quite evocative. "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue was
indeed a movie. (Jump in any time, Dave in Toronto!) Jan Sterling. I
had the record too, on an LP with 'rhapsody in Blur" so I think i
thought Gershwin wrote "Slaughter". But that can't be right.
From the movies, Suspicion, and Vertigo, and, of course, "Man With the
Golden Arm." ops--not a mystery.
