DELUXE EDITION

Randy Newman -"Pleasantville (Original Motion Picture Score)" Pleasantville (1998) was a high-concept, fantasy-comedy about high-school siblings (Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon) transported into an idyllic, black-and-white 1950s Leave It to Beaver-type TV show. In the hands of writer/director Gary Ross, the film is more than just a fish-out-of-water tale with dazzling visual effects, it is a touching character study and potent Civil Rights allegory that received critical acclaim and is fondly remembered today. Randy Newman - a master of Americana, humor and symphonic scoring - provided the soundtrack. Newman had cheeky fun with the show-within-the-film's old-school traditions, but just as the story blossoms into a heartfelt tale of emotional awakening, so does the gorgeous score. Varèse Sarabande originally released the score as a 17- track (31 minutes) program. This Deluxe Edition features an expanded program of 34 tracks (66 minutes) with new liner notes by Tim Greiving.
