Customer Reviews Darling Darling Julie! Julie's voice has never been better! "Whistling In The Dark" is so hauntingly beautiful, and the other songs are very memorable. This is one of the best soundtracks ever, although it is packaged poorly. Buy this CD before it goes out of print!. Mancini & Andrews Perfection Julie shows such grace and versatility on this soundtrack. Of all the Julie Andrews CDs I own (MARY POPPINS, SOUND OF MUSIC, CAMELOT, VICTOR/VICTORIA, & this one), DARLING LILI is the one by far. Her voice combined with the music of the master of music Henry Mancini ("Moon River," "Baby Elephant Walk," etc. ) makes for the perfect soundtrack. The songs are positively haunting. "Whistling Away the Dark" is probably the best song Miss Andrews ever sang on film. The two different renditions of "I'll Give You Three Guesses" are each in there own way magnificent. There are some songs not featuring Julie Andrews. One song I love sung by the character Crepe Sousette is "Good Will Ambassador. " The best instrumental piece is the one titled "Gypsy Violin. " It's deep and makes an impact if you let it. Still, Julie Andrews really makes the album, but only by the good music of Henry Mancini. Again, an excellent CD. Darling Lili soundtrack surfaces at last!!!! At the very least the soundtrack should be a part of everyones "easy listening" collection. I will never understand why this movie has not done better thru the years. It took quite a while to find but it was well worth the wait. I must admit finding this album would certainly have been expedited had I remembered how to spell Lili ! ! ! I don't feel the sound is as crisp as it could be (it wasn't crisp on the vinyl either) but I believe the performances easily push this album to 5 stars. .
