This movie gets better and better as it plays. Some very funny lines and a great ensemble cast. Bravissimo!!
A gritty little film noir, the Tattooed Stranger has dramatic tension thanks to the excellent and original music of Alan Shulman.
Shulman, a cellist in Toscanini's NBC Symphony, studied composition with Paul Hindemith. His Cello Concerto was premiered by Leonard Rose with the New York Philharmonic, his clarinet pieces were played and recorded by Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, he wrote songs for Steve Allen, and he taught Nelson Riddle orchestration techniques used in Riddle's work for Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald. and Nat "King" Cole.
His quality music is unexpected in this context and gives the film depth and nuance.
