Love some of the music. The theme is wonderful. Funny, I remember being really disappointed by it in '95, after waiting two years for a new Williams score. Jurassic Park it wasn't and isn't, but this wasn't such a bad thing in hindsight. As for the film, it has the dubious distinction of being the first movie I ever fell asleep during at the cinema. However, I've since come around on it, too, and consider it a favorite in the genre. Frankly, I like it better than the original, and not by just a nose, either. Part of it may be that I'd much rather shag Julia Ormond than Audrey Hepburn, whose appeal I've never quite gotten. The major complaint I have about the remake is probably Ormond's hair-do, which treaded a little too closely to some of Hepburn's own boyish cuts for my tastes. [Oh for that long, luscious mane she displayed in Legends Of The Fall and First Knight!] Dan

There's nothing wrong with the sound quality. It was 1995, not 1955. Just turn it up two or three notches if you want to hear it "remastered."

I really love this score too. I'd happily pick up an expanded version.

Could someone recommend a similar (either by Williams or others) score? Williams did a number of "intimate" scores featuring solo piano, though Sabrina is by far the most romantic of them. You might like Stanley & Iris, though it is not as unabashedly lyrical. Angela's Ashes is a gorgeous "intimate" score, with some beautiful piano writing -- but considerably more tragic and melancholy in tone than Sabrina.

There is no shortage of intimate, gorgeous scores in Williams' resume. In fact, I think I'm very much gravitating towards those these days than the big adventure stuff. Stuff like STANLEY & IRIS, THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, ANGELA'S ASHES (one of my alltime favourite JWs), STEPMOM....although the particular romantic slant of SABRINA seems to be something of its own. Perhaps PETE'N'TILLIE or JANE EYRE would be good companions, or bits and pieces in PENELOPE, HOW TO STEAL A MILLION, NOT WITH MY WIFE YOU DON'T. It's worth noting that the main song from SABRINA, "In the Moonlight" bears an uncanny similarity to the song "Make Me Rainbows" from FITZWILLY, although the latter score is more comedic and whimsical, overall.

The Accidental Tourist and Stanley & Iris for sure.
