Digitmovies proudly presents as volume ten
of the series dedicated to the Italian police movies genre
the complete OST in full stereo by Piero Piccioni from the
movie Fatevi Vivi: La Polizia Non Interverrà directed
in 1974 by Giovanni Fago and starring Henry Silva, Philippe
Leroy, Lia Tanzi, Gabriele Ferzetti, Rada Rassimov, Loris
Bazzocchi, Pino Ferrara, Renato Pinciroli, Calisto Calisti,
Bruno Boschetti, Luciano Bartoli, Rosita Torosh, Gianfranco
Barra, Omero Antonutti, Armando Brancia, Fausta Avelli, Franco
Diogene.
Don Francesco, a well-known mafia don, is wrongly suspected
by the police for having organized the kidnapping of a little
girl, the daughter of a very rich industrialist.
The old boss, who considers women and children to be untouchables,
wants to do his best to discover the guilty ones and to set
the little girl free.
During a shoot-out he is wounded, but thanks to him the kidnappers
are arrested.
At the time of the film's release only a 45 rpm single was
issued on the United Artists label with the two tracks Kidnap
and Agguato in stereo.
Although we did get the license to release this OST, unfortunately
the original session master tapes have been lost for a long
time.
After various searches we were able to find in the composer's
private archive the original tapes in full stereo and in very
good condition which gave us the chance to issue this CD with
a duration of about 60 minutes.
The OST is a fabulous mix of lounge and action music, quite
different to the usual and well-known sounds of the Italian
genre, but closer to the music of some British TV series such
as The Persuaders with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis and scored
by Ken Thorne with the main theme composed by John Barry:
By the way, M° Piccioni had already written the score
for the British movie Puppet On The Chain in 1970, and the
musical approach is very similar.
Dynamite-like action music gets alternated with sensual lounge
atmospheres and the whole criminal side of the plot is described
with mysterious, suspenseful and obsessive themes where the
author uses the sound of the Jew's harp and the tubular bells.
An OST rightly and properly rescued and preserved as tribute
to the Italian Silver Age and to the wonderful music art of
Piero Piccioni. |
