A few weeks ago I caught the movie "Mona Lisa Smile" for the first time on cable. The song that prompted me to buy the soundtrack was one I had heard June Allison do years ago in an old WWII canteen movie, "Murder He Says". I didn't realize til ordering, that all these great swing era songs had been recorded by contemporary artists; and while collections like these can often pale in comparison to the originals, many of these surpass them. As far as I am concerned, Macy Gray now OWNS "Santa Baby", and Sanjaya should have heard Chris Isaak's version of "Besame Mucho" before attempting it! Tori Amos, Alison Krauss, Mandy Moore... and Kelly Rowland singing, "I'm Beginning to See the Light"...my new favorite!!! Appeal of this collection is broad, too. My friend's son pestered me nonstop til I burned him a copy after he heard "Istanbul(Not Constantinople)". This CD is a definite recommend!Read full review
Relaxing and romantic music, this soundtrack sounds like something you would listen to in this sixties and seventies. Most soundtracks aren't like this which gives this soundtrack the "center stage" if you know what I mean. This soundtrack captures the warmth of the movie and is highly recommended! 1. Mona Lisa Smile - Seal 4/5 2. You Belong To Me - Tori Amos 5/5 3. Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered - Celine Dion 5/5 4. The Heart Of Every Girl - Elton John 4/5 5. Santa Baby - Macy Gray 5/5 (Go Macy!) 6. Murder, He Says - Tori Amos 4/5 7. Besame Mucho - Chris Isaak 3/5 8. Secret Love - Mandy Moore 5/5 9. What'll I Do - Alison Krauss 4/5 10. Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - Trevor Horn Orchestra 3/5 11. Sh Boom - Trevor Horn Orchestra 4/5 12. I'm Beginning To See The Light - Kelly Rowland 5/5 13. I've Got The World On A String - Lisa Stansfield 4/5 14. Smile - Barbra Streisand 5/5 15. Suite 5/5 If you liked this, you may like 1. Le Divorce original soundtrack 2.

I loved a novelty song that is on the album. I was in an antique store in Hutchinson, Kansas and heard the novelty song and inquired about what the proprieter had playng in the store. She told me it was the soundtrack to Mona Lisa smile. I knew I could find it on ebay and I did! A great ebayer sold it to me! You can find ALMOST anything you want on ebay.
