Billy May & Johnny Cool

i know his stuff only really because of the Johnny Cool Soundtrack (1962 - but sounds earlier). i like Johnny Cool a lot, but some think its a bit hokey. i can understand that, but for me it is atmospheric and just right (playing with cliches maybe? '62 was damn late for noir dontcha think?)

and i guess this is a pretty minor role in a distinguished career, so feel free to talk about his ouevre...

i suppose this was a pastiche this late in the game, though i havent seen the film in question.
