Tracks
An absolutely wonderful soundtrack, that everyone should give fair chance to. It's wonderfully fun, and you can follow the story of the film so well just through these tracks. I don't think I really need to extol its virtues as its famous enough, but I would like to put here for the record - though Audrey Hepburn is wonderfully charming in this film, she is only responsible for the acting and spoken sections of this soundtrack.
The actual singing is by MARNI NIXON, isn't she wonderful? So famous tracks like 'The Rain In Spain' and 'I Could Have Danced All Night' are actually the work of this champion lady. So I recommend listening to this (hopefully re-listening) with the new appreciation of not only the singing, but also the seamless transitions between the female vocals and Marni's amazing mimicry.
