Editorial Review:
Those who thought the three-decade collaboration between director Steven Spielberg and composer John Williams couldn't possibly yield any more musical surprises will find themselves warmly rebuffed here. Based on the true story of an exiled man-without-a-country who made Paris' Orly airport his home, director Steven Spielberg's storytelling liberties have transformed it into an unlikely comic romance between Tom Hanks' mythical Krakhozian refugee Viktor and Catherine Zeta-Jones' Amelia. Williams' captures the wistful tone with an airy, oft-impressionistic score that recalls a winning marriage of Michel Legrand's elegant piano-jazz conceits and Rachel Portman's delicate, introspective pastoralism. Too often underutilized in recent years, Williams' own rich jazz background frequently serves him well here, informing Amelia's love theme with emotional grace and serving as perfect counterpoint to the ethnic inventions carried by Emily Bernstein's soulful clarinet (Williams even gets to concoct a lovably pompous anthem for Viktor's fictional Krakhozia) and the bracing jolts of bright, post-modernist influenced orchestral music that holds it together. -- Jerry McCulley

Great Movie 
2008-12-07 - This is a great movie,comedy. Tom Hanks as usual puts on an outstanding performance. I own over 500 movies and this one is in my top 10. I also own the soundtrack, I really enjoyed the music as well. A must see for comedy lovers and Tom Hank fans.

2007-05-24 - the music makes you want to dance (ballroom dance) hence why i bought it. It's very uplifting.
Main title sticks in my head
2007-01-20 - The Viktor Navorski theme loomed in my head until I purchased the CD and then repeated the .mp3 over & over. Love it.
