I finally took a look at that Paramount soundtrack and the tracks credited to Riddle sound like charts taken from the Untouchables and other TV shows he wrote music for. The tango charts and minor key mood stuff just sounds like they are running scales up and down.

The tracks that say Riddle/Berlin sound like more TV stuff with a few bars of Berlin chorus thrown on top here and there.

About the only reason to sue over that would be if record sales were much higher than expected and Berlin didn't get paid after the intial pressing.

However, it has been a long time since I played that record and upon reflection I think that Hollywood professional Irving Taylor could have done a better job than Riddle.

As to this new movie, after watching the trailer I am not going to waste my time even after it ends up free on youtube. In a word - terrible. The Paramount production hacked up the book to a tolerable degree, but there are live productions of the book that are read verbatim. I don't think the movie business can go much lower than this junk.

Amazing organ John. I can't play like that and have to stick to stock Dixieland charts.
