The Rocketeer - Original Soundtrack

I am a fan of the film The Rocketeer, because it is set in the first half of last century in Hollywood, and has not only James Bond's , Timothy Dalton, as the Errol Flynn-like Nazi spy, but also the very beautiful Jennifer Connelly.
The soundtrack is probably one of my all time favourite soundtracks, but the incredibly talented James Horner who creates an iconic theme for The Rocketeer.  It also has the wonderful Melora Hardin singing two classic jazz numbers.  Melora was almost cast as the original Jennifer in Back To The Future.
This is a spectacular, big sounding classic orchestral soundtrack.  If you really love movie soundtracks, you really need to give this a listen. You will fall in love too.
