MR. MUSIC

This is a great film for teenagers… [they] will love the… music... A well-crafted film… We loved it!

Far too often, record labels simply throw together a dozen unrelated hit songs and form a compilation of "Music From and Inspired By" a particular film… In the case of Mr. Music, the songs are… the underscore of the movie, and… deserve to be heard...

THE PASSION OF AYN RAND

By Dennis Harvey

…the feature boasts handsome period detail [and] a pleasing '50s-style jazz score… (composed by Jeff Beal, who also co-wrote Love Is, Love Is Not, the feature song).
