I absolutely hated the modern jazz soundtrack to "Pickadilly". It did nothing to convey the time, place, mood, feel, or era of this picture. For me, it distracted rather than enhanced. Would anyone enjoy watching a 1940's Big Band musical with Rap or HipHop numbers replacing Glenn Miller & the Andrews Sisters? So why do the same thing with a classic 1920's film? What do you think - does anyone agree, or am I the lone dissenter?

You're right - most of the TCM silents have very good sound tracks.........but the occasional clunkers like this one sure do detract from the enjoyment of an otherwise great movie. If the TCM folks are listening, I wish they would take you up on your offer to make a better track for Pickadilly. I'd love to hear it!
