After Big Night became a box-office hit, even people who hadn't seen the film were lining up to buy the soundtrack. As the ultimate Italian dinner classic, both the movie and the record are thoroughly enjoyable. Mixing some of
Louis Prima's biggest hits with great performances from
Claudio Villa, Matteo Salvatore, and a charming instrumental score, the disc is a blast from start to finish and one-stop shopping for anyone who wants to spice up the occasional evening with a healthy dose of Italian swing. ~ Jim Smith
