What great songs


It's my kind of town

I'd have to say "Style" is my favorite song. I've always loved Dino and Bing Crosby, and it's awesome to hear them sing together!

I agree, "Style" is my favorite from this film---in fact it was the reason I wanted to see this film, I had heard the song with the funny lines from the movie included. Not only is it a fun song on its own, but youre right---having the greats like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby singing together cements its place as a classic!

I remember as a tenager having a copy of the soundtrack and the funny lines were included. Actually I don't know if anyone else has noticed but soundtrack cds are not as good as LPs used to be (I'm going back 35-40 years). I think it enriches a soundtrack when the funny lines are included as, in the axamply of Style, when Frankie and Dino are joking about Bing, "I think it's his throat."
I have noticed it on other film soundtracks as well. Has anyone else?

Love the song Style, but actually love all the songs in this movie. The song Dean sings while shooting pool - I don't know it just so suited the personna of Dean - totally cool, and nonchalant - I can't imagine we'll see a cast with this level of collective talent and skill again. Because we don't have "stars" of this type anymore. There is no one today who is comparable career-wise to Sinatra, Crosby, Martin et.al. And all the character actors in the smaller parts. Pure entertainment.

During his first dance number (while shooting up Gisborn's place) I'm sure I saw Sammy Davis sneak in a little bit of Jerry Lewis. Right after he grabs the the Tommy Gun, he moves across the bar on his knees, and his voice goes a little squeaky.

But you're right -- "Style" was the best number and would have been even better with some Sammy.
