SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:45 Min.
As Track # 9, this Ennio Morricone instrumental portrays Kevin Costner’s Eliot Ness as a soft-spoken and happily-married family man with a young daughter. The orchestra isn’t identified.
Note: For the film’s dramatic purposes, both Patricia Clarkson’s Catherine Ness and the daughter (portrayed by Kaitlin Montgomery) are fictional.
REVIEW:
Presenting the soundtrack’s only blissful piece, the track works exactly as it’s supposed to. “Ness and His Family” doesn’t necessarily merit a solo download so much, but it’s vital to the film’s narrative backbone. With a classical-like lilt, this thoughtfully low-key and poignant track should appeal to instrumental enthusiasts – it’s a kindred spirit reminiscent of 1980’s Somewhere in Time.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
