This thread has fallen behind, so in honor of Arthur I present this cue to you from an upcoming release in hopes of keeping the discussion going. I raise my glass and toast to you and your brilliancy Arthur!
I won't knock the film, but it's easy to see how ANOTHER STAKEOUT would have been a challenging assignment for any composer. It's not a typical action-comedy, it's more of a comedy sandwiched inside an action film. Rubinstein was almost scoring two films at once, but he pulled it off with style. The score has fantastic energy!
Well hopefully the score to the first Stakeout movie will get a release or maybe it will be both the Stakeout scores as a special release, Another Stakeout always seems to get the release treatment with the Blu ray a few years ago yet still no release for the original movie and now the score....please release the original
