Brazilian crooner pop single. Don’t know much this guy. He co-wrote songs on records by Eduardo Gudin, Alaíde Costa, and Jane & Herondy. Pretty sure this was just a blind buy off the Bay. Nothing too thrilling but the Portuguese gives it a faint whiff of bossa.
I think the first time I saw this movie was on the classic never-watch-it-straight weekend overnight anthology/variety barrage Night Flight on the USA Network, back in the mid-’80s. It was very European and pretty disturbing. Was happy to see Criterion issue the disc. Finally scored a nice copy of this soundtrack at a fair price. It’s an appealingly tense blend of Euro jazz/funk cues (most a minute or less) that wouldn’t sound out of place on a contemporary giallo. Goraguer (born 1931 in a suburb of Paris) also did a crime jazz EP I’m trying to find for less than mortgage payment rates.
