early- and mid-'60s films may have their staunch band of supporters, but few would go as far as to hail them as enduring art. That same judgment and then some goes for the music she sang on their soundtracks. Much of it is collected on this 24-song CD, which has tunes from
,
, and
, as well as some unreleased material, even tacking on a few piano demos for the
film. The themes to
and "Follow the Boys" were big hits, but the rest of the songs here are mostly filler, with the same innocuous, occasionally vapid qualities of the films themselves. There's a bit of rock & roll here and there (sung none too convincingly), but much of it is typically sentimental musical comedy/drama fare. For that reason, it will appeal much more to pop vocal and soundtrack fans than rock ones, though it's certainly well packaged, complete with 24-page liner notes. ~ Richie Unterberger
