Alan Silvestri's OVERBOARD and George Delerue's BEACHES are the only ones I really care for. The others I've either not heard (properly) or have no particular affection for (yes, I've seen films like PRETTY WOMAN, of course, but I've never really paid that much attention to the JNH score).
I've read over the years that "Young Doctors in Love" has a very good, unreleased Maurice Jarre score, but I've never seen the film to hear it for myself. Anybody have thoughts on the music?
Looking over his filmography, I just haven't seen very many of Marshall's films nor have I heard very many of their scores. I guess I'd have to go with "Beaches," which I've never seen but I've heard a few cues on a compilation and it's typically lovely Georges Delerue. I like the waltz from John Debney's "The Princess Diaries" but I've never heard the full score. There's also Billy Goldenberg's score for "The Grasshopper," but Marshall only co-wrote and produced that so perhaps it shouldn't count.
I've always wanted to see "Frankie and Johnny," which has a Marvin Hamlisch score.
Sarge loves NOTHING IN COMMON, both the film and the score...
The CD is long out of print, and was comprised largely of songs, but the Patrick Leonard material was terrific. Supposedly there's a very rare promo with a couple of unreleased cuts, but I've never been able to get my hands on it.

Two additional tracks on the promo, Getting Older and Going Home:

No idea, but I see that Bruckheimer is the producer. So maybe Maurice sounds like Moroder on that film?

It has a very funky main theme with a sax lead. And that's from viewing memory at the theatre. In fact, theme is as wacked as the film. Harry Dean Stanton LOL...

Seconding your love for Nothing In Common, a very good film with good performances, a nice honest emotional movie. I haven't seen it since its original release, but I remember it was surprisingly touching.
Can't remember a darn thing about the score, however.
And as far as The Flamingo Kid, wasn't the Varese album just songs and not score?
Years ago I found a copy of the Varese album and it had the same contents as the Motown album, which confused me
I remember seeing movie and asking where odd couple music was.
Really? The orchestration and pace is slightly different, but the movie theme and the television theme are identical. And the interstitial cues for the show are based on secondary themes from the movie.
Obviously, Marshall was only an actor in "Lost in America," but I love Arthur B. Rubinstein's score for that one.
Don't see anything I can think of from his credits as director or credits as an actor. There was a cue up on youtube (gone now) of Debney's theme for a from called "Mother's Day" not that long ago, that was good. It's not on his Kraft-Engel page either.

Ill have to re-watch movie. Saw it once and found so different from show lost interest. My memory of it could be wrong.
