I hesitated purchasing this at first because the DANGEROUS CROSSING cues didn't really grab me, but those PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET samples proved irressistable. Jaunty, jazzy rhythms...dark, brooding suspense...sultry, smoky saxuality. I'm hoping that DANGEROUS CROSSING will reveal its secrets as I listen to it in its entirety. It's not everyday that film noir scores are given the royal treatment, so this is definitely a cause for celebration. I hope Intrada et al. continue to explore this genre and bring us more surprises from the seedy underbelly of black and white celluloid..... josh, i dont think u will have one regret about getting this ,,,,, and DANGEROUS CROSSING, ,,,,, is FILM NOIR that is the real,,,,,,,,,well i shouldnt say anymore, till u get yours,,,,,, let me know what u think. mike

Oh yeah, this is good stuff. Really glad I decided to grab this. Ironically, I'm enjoying DANGEROUS CROSSING most of all, even though I originally bought the CD based on my attraction to the PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET samples. PICKUP is catchy and fun, but a bit on the repetitive side. DANGEROUS, on the other hand, has lots of variety...much more so than what was revealed by Intrada's sample cues. Not so surprising, I guess, since the raw material was sourced from several different films. Can't wait to spin this baby while diving into this 1200-page anthology of classic pulp fiction from the 20s~40s that I recently picked up:

Cool book, Josh. Lots of good stuff in there.
RE: PICKUP -- have you seen the movie? It's out in a nice Criterion edition you can probably find for rent or at your library. Worth checking out, I think, if you haven't seen it. Anyway, I'm enjoying this release, too.

Everyone's input here is massively appreciated!
I was especially happy today listening to the clips from "Dangerous Crossing", and am definitely getting more interested in Harline. The packaging is also so cool to me.
I think this might go nice with Fuller at Fox

I just replied to you in the other thread. Both this original Intrada disc and the Kritzerland three-fer have Pickup on South Street. The Kritzerland probably sounds better though. So you would be getting some musical redundancy by acquiring this OOP disc as well...and the only "new" score you'd be getting is one that was basically cobbled-together "library music" excerpted from 2+ previously composed scores (primarily Newman's The Snake Pit and Kaplan's House on Telegraph Hill). See my other reply in detail here:
