I remember this beautiful score from 1967 when "Hotel" was in theaters. I am thrilled to death that it is available on CD! It's jazzy, it's haunting, it's just a gorgeous collection of music!
Years ago...in the 80's, I bought an LP of HOTEL, and fell in love with the music. I purchased the CD immediately when it came out. I have never seen the movie, but I DVR'd it yesterday on TCM HD, and am looking forward to seeing it after being familiar with the music for so long.
I watched the opening few minutes and am already intrigued after seeing Karl Malden retrieve a hotel key from an ash tray, and then open his briefcase to reveal a whole collection of keys from many different hotels. I noticed his on-screen credit read something like: Karl Malden as the Key Thief....
