THE THIEF WHO CAME TO DINNER

Film américain de 1973.

"A keyboard classic from Henry Mancini -- and one of his greatest soundtracks ever! The album's far far different than most of Mancini's other work -- a stripped-down, slow-funk batch of tracks that mix together keyboards and organ, riffing out over rhythm and strings, in a mode that would make Quincy Jones weep! The main theme is a stunner -- and it rolls out again and again in different versions with a nice moogy bit behind it, sounding almost like an Italian soundtrack tune -- but with a lot more spacey soul! The rest of the soundtrack follows suit -- sliding forward in a brilliantly slinky way -- all without any common cliches of the time, and an amazingly balanced groove." (www.dustygroove.com)
