Benefit from my mistake

I am another person who bought this cd thinking it had the music from the movie. (Which it says it does.) The only recognizable song was the theme song, and although it was recognizable, it was painful to recognize it on this cd. The music is synthesized, and it is absolutely horrible.
I really don't know what to do with this cd. Undoubtedly it will end up at the used bookstore, where they will possibly give me a dollar for it.
This cd is overpriced, misrepresented, and truly appalling.
I hope you can benefit from the mistakes of buyers before you.
Spend a few extra dollars and get the original soundtrack! November 2, 2006

Not the Original Soundtrack of the Movie

This is marketed to appear as if it is the original soundtrack of the movie "A Man and a Woman", but actually it is a re-recording of some of the movie's music, in English rather than the original French, with some extra music thrown in. The original soundtrack, with the wonderful, romantic music that helped this movie win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, is available under the title "Un Homme et une Femme". Don't be fooled.

Ewwwwww...pretty bad

Horrid, horrible and cheesy...makes you want to smash the CD. The track after Blue Rose is quite possibly the worst song recorded in history. Worst than fingernails screeching across a chalkboard. Kinda reminds me of background music for one of the corny high-kick-and-twirl dance routines on Solid Gold (headband and all). I bought it because of Francis Lai...big, big mistake. August 27, 2004

A good collection of Francis Lai's fabulous songs

It's one of the CDs that I like and listen most since I bought it last year. All the songs are re-arranged, and bring new experience when listening to them. Highly recommended for fans of Francis Lai. October 13, 2003

Don't buy this CD

I rushed in and bought this CD because I thought it contained the sound-track music and songs. Well, it did say Francis Lai. Instead I got the very worst elevator music. Its indescribably bad. Don't be fooled. Find the real one and pay more. November 14, 2002
