I posted the cue links in another post, but for those who may have not seen, I've retitled the thread and am posting again. Just curious on if you like the score and would buy? As I said in my other thread, it's very "Bill Conti" and Alan Alda who was in THE SEDUCTION OF JOE TYNAN scored by Bill Conti, wrote and directed SWEET LIBERTY.
It's not exactly my favorite kind of thing, but I'd buy it. I always buy Broughton because I always listen to it all the way through. He's just that good, whatever he does.
This is far from my favorite Broughton score, but the answer to "Would you buy _________ by Bruce Broughton" is always "yes." (Though "Ice Pirates" briefly shook my resoluteness on this matter.)

Definitely. Not sure how much score there is beyond the main theme though. Good movie, too. I keep hoping for a proper DVD or Blu Ray release.
The only proper widescreen version is the UK DVD which is 16:9 enhanced. The only US DVD is a Universal retail release which is 4:3...it's not part of the Universal MOD program.
As I still have the main title that I taped off the thing back in '87, I'd buy it.
Maybe it could be paired with Cross My Heart (another comedy from Universal, and one of Aaron Spelling's better big-screen productions*)? I don't think there's much score in that one, given its small scale and lots of dialogue - I saw it in the cinema on a double-bill with The Accused (?!?!?) and I don't remember much in the way of music.**
*It's on YouTube at the time of writing. **But I do remember its shamelessly sexist decision to have Annette O'Toole naked while letting Martin Short keep his underwear on.
