Ah, the movie is perfect, the soundtrack isn't,
May 3, 2000 By A Customer
This review is from: Return to Me: Music from the MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I was disappointed by the soundtrack. where is the Frank Sinatra song that was one of the most wonderful moments in this wonderful movie? and the heart breaking song (no pan intended) that was the background of the heart transplant operation? the songs in the CD are nice and sweet, but the two most important pieces are not there and that's a huge disappointment. a movie that good deserved an equal soundtrack. WHERE IS FRANKIE?

Disappointing,

This review is from: Return to Me: Music from the MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I LOVE LOVE LOVED the movie, and eagerly purchased this soundtrack thinking the best of the best would be included. NOT SO! The CD contains LESS THAN 40 minutes of tunes, most are somber and unmemorable, and with the exception of the title track including both Dean Martin and Joey Gain's wonderful versions, this is lacking all the guts of the movie...like when they dance in the garden and Blue Eyes sings his heart out. Or when Gracie gets her heart transplant and the sweet vocals of JEWEL play in the background. There was so much emotion in this movie and in the music accompanying it; too bad for the most part this CD just missed the impact.

Where's Jewel?,

I saw part of this movie being filmed in Chicago and really enjoyed it ... it has special meaning to me. I haven't bought the soundtrack yet but was very disappointed to find that Jewel's "Angel Standing By" was not included. What a powerfully emotional song to play during the transplant scene - each family's heartwrenching emotions were very well portrayed.
