A while back I posted a Paul Weston LP that collected theme music from Jennifer Jones films, including two excerpts from 1953's "Indiscretion of an American Wife." At that time, I promised to present the soundtrack album from that movie - and here it is.

| Cicognini |
The music is by Alessandro Cicognini, whose long career spanned 106 films and included a particularly close association with Vittorio de Sica, who directed this effort. I haven't seen "Indiscretion," but I imagine you can figure out the story from the title, the cover, and the cues listed on the cover. The music is suitably passionate and memorable.
My copy of this LP was not in ideal condition, but the sound is reasonably good. Leading the orchestra is Franco Ferrara, a legendary conducting teacher who made very few classical records, although I think he can be heard on a number of soundtrack records beside this one.
