IL VIGILE (THE TRAFFIC POLICEMAN)

Piero Umiliani (born 17 July 1926 in Florence, died 14 February 2001 in Rome) was one of the most famous names in film music. He was famous throughout the world for “Mah-na-mah-na,” based on the 1968 documentary “Sweden: Heaven and Hell.” The score was then reused in the TV show “The Muppet Show.”
At that time, RCA had issued an extended-play in mono (Italian RCA - EPA 30-382) with four selections. For our CD we were able to access the original recording session in mono which allowed us to create a CD containing the complete OST as well as material from the extremely rare LP. Maestro Umiliani composed a very pleasing OST which, in its various musical nuances, perfectly embodies the comic vein of the great Alberto Sordi through a bubbly series of funny themes, marches, and dance music alternating between jazz and b Form: CD lues. In this film Sordi is in one of his most iconic roles. --- from the label.
