Days Of Wine And Roses | Soundtrack Suite (Henry Mancini)

[@Zythryl]

Days of Wine and Roses will never fail to make me cry. God bless, Henry Mancini.

[@KendraAndTheLaw]

THIS particular production is my favorite piece of music of all time and space. Divine. Thank you Messrs Mancini and Mercer. The gods of music.

[@jeanlou79]

An absolute masterpiece, evoking perfectly the early sixties: strings, piano and vibraphone, vocals without atrocious autotune, clean jazzy guitar, flute...magic!

In 1962, after the success of “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” and “Experiment in Terror” Blake Edwards’ was off again to produce a movie about two characters, portrayed by Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, who are going to face some love and some troubles. This isn’t a comedy by far, it perfectly captures how everybody could have a nice time, waking up someday and find themselves seemingly inseparable to alcohol… Everything seems just to be there, so real, that one forgets it is a movie. You can feel it right away when Lemmon ‘promotes’ the movie in its trailer, very personally. Back again as well was Edwards’ dear friend Henry Mancini. While his score is pretty subtle, mostly supporting emotional scenes and contributing “party music”, it features THAT one melody, that one song, which goes under your skin, especially in combination with Johnny Mercer’s lyrics, as performed in the main titles. Mancini in his own words: “That theme was written in about half an hour. It just came, it rolled out.” Later he and Mercer were to meet director Edwards and star Lemmon. Mancini played and Mercer sang “in his best bullfrog voice with a crack in it and the jazz inflection that was always there somewhere.… When we were through, there was a long, long, heavy, terrible silence. It probably lasted 10 seconds, but it seemed like 10 minutes. I kept staring into the keyboard. Finally I couldn’t stand it, and shifted myself around to look at Blake and Jack. And there was Jack with a tear rolling down his cheek, and Blake was misty-eyed. We didn’t have to ask them if they liked the song.” The rest is history… Enjoy!

Dear Fred I vividly remember seeing this film with my Mother at Radio City Music Hall n Rockefeller Plaza. It was always exciting going to that beautiful theater. The film was so real, Jack and Lee were so authentic in their roles. Thank you once again my friend across the waters😍

[@stevedougherty4569]

Fred. Excellent film notes regarding alcohol’s ability to befriend you and then sneak up and betray you in the end.

[@Waterboyofsuperman]

The original teleplay (was it Playhouse 90) in the 1950s with Cliff Robertson is excellent as well.

[@thetwogardens6048]

Never liked Jack lemon that much . Thought his acting style was very plastic !

[@TheVid54]

Mancini was the master of melody for the movies, so much so that it often overshadowed his exceptional ability to effectively underscore so many terrific films. Still, his collection of RCA movie music albums in "living stereo" are a treasure trove of classic compositions for the 20th century. Henry Mancini was a remarkable talent.

[@ericseal9027]

An outstanding soundtrack on an excellent movie, showing the problems and hardships, that alcoholism can cause. (Not to mention, a very good love story, between Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick) Henry Mancini hit a grand slam, with this one. REALLY capturing the mood and flavor of the movie. Thanks for posting 😊😊

[@annakarsten5046]

Einfach zauberhafte Musik.

[@jerrybeaver4677]

Beautiful song and movie great stuff Henry put it all together smooth and sad sound total masterpiece 😍💓💓💓💓💕

[@ShelleyFiks]

In the 60s an 70s, I used to listen to a station that played that kind of music. I was 16 and would never admit to it. But in th mid 80s, I met a wild and crazy biker who I started to like,but what sealed the deal was, that song played somewhere, and out of his mouth he uttered, days of wine and roses! I knew I'd found my man!!

[@robertjones447]

I'm already sentimental and gushing about a movie I've never even seen. That is how great Henry Mancini was. Now I've got to see it!

[@ernestcastro6238]

@robertjones447 Sir, you must see this film.

[@robertjones447]

@@ernestcastro6238 I watched the film the next day after posting my comment. I have seen it three more times since. Great movie - as great as its music!

[@carlorizzo827]

Gosh I saw it years ago. So painful I won't watch again. How many heartbreak can I take

[@Carmenetta]

How I loved Henry Mancini, he was an absolute genius. This song , melody and lyrics, makes me cry for times gone by ❤

[@AdullFiddler-ez7tm]

Mancini defined elegance and sophistication.

[@elsagranados670]

HENRY MANCINI...CÓMO TE EXTRAÑAMOS, SIEMPRE ESTARÁS EN NUESTROS CORAZONES! TE VA TODO MI AMOR AL CIELO...ALLÁ ESTÁS!

[@BarbaraMayer-g7n]

Magical.❤

[@adelebz7]

Hauntingly beautiful lyrics, melodies and one of the best orchestration by the great composer Henry Mancini. Pure Magic!!🎇🎊🎉🎆💝💝💝

[@improcat1]

Jack Lemmon said he broke down when "Hank" played him the song "The Days of Wine and Roses" for the first time.

[@KendraAndTheLaw]

Yes he did 🤎🤎🤎

[@ShelleyFiks]

Play days of winene and roses by handy williams

[@whynot5716]

I watched his bio recently on You Tube. He was only 70 years of age when he peacefully passed. What an incredibly tragic loss for the world. I'm sure he still had lots of magic to write. Bless you HM

😢😢😢😢😢😢❤😢

[@chrischristopoulos970]

Gorgeous musician

[@artdamato5563]

My favorite movie of all time. Jack Lemon was great; And Mancini is my favorite composer of all time bar none !

[@miltonabbiati7598]

Alcolismo e autodistruzione, drammi ancora attuali!🥃😵 Henry Mancini sofisticato e malinconico🙂👍🏻

[@johnsherman6718]

Yes a melody that is played out silently behind the unfolding terror of alcoholism and addiction. The melody has such a sweet and sorrowful feel for the loss of oneself to the addiction of a drug or alcoholism. A beautiful melody of sad loss of the best of a person driven by the desire to be blissfully high over anything or anyone. Mancini brilliantly captures it perfectly.

[@morlock2086]

Thank you Fred. Mancini had a wide variety of work, didn't he? From the Pink Panther to Outer Space Vampire horror films. Days of Wine and Roses is quite loving at times.

[@joycepelson5265]

Mancini handled this very well. True Master of real music. It's beautiful!!

[@hueyhoolihan582]

most of the advertising pics for this movie showed them laughing, yet it was a very depressing movie, with some of the most beautiful music ever written for film.

[@hudsony777]

A very difficult movie and a very sad ending.

[@carlorizzo827]

Alcohol kills, didn't I learn the hard way. Yeah I made 25 years abstinent, still taste it 🕊

[@KAH5371]

What a wonderful suite! Simply sublime and magical. Thank you so much! Love the works of Henry Mancini! They just don't make music like this anymore. Again, Thank you, Soundtrack Fred!

[@marianofranciscogarciazaba9650]

Esto es música champagne, sofisticación, elegancia y melancolía a partes iguales.

[@NormanLor]
