FA6401 E la donna creò l'uomo / Full Hearts and Empty Pockets
Auther: Jonathan Broxton

ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part I-5

E la Donna Creò l’Uomo, known in English as Full Hearts and Empty Pockets, is an Italian comedy-drama directed by Camillo Mastrocinque, starring Thomas Fritsch and Alexandra Stewart. The film is incredibly obscure these days; the limited information available online appears to indicate that it’s a film about a man who is blackmailed into taking a promotion at work, and who then becomes corrupted by his own success prior to his eventual downfall. The film’s poster, on the other hand, appears to indicate that it’s about a 6-inch tall man who terrorizes women biting their noses, so what do I know?

Morricone’s score is playful and tune-filled, with a solo violin melody underpinned by lively plucked strings and a whimsical-sounding harpsichord; it eventually gives way to something a little more wistful and introspective, playing the same melody on an electric guitar, but at a slower tempo and with a moody string wash. The soundrack feautres several variations on this main theme done in multiple styles ranging from bossa nova to modern jazz, and one especially interesting one with the intriguing title “Exoticoerotico”!

The best release of the soundtrack is the version which came out in 2005 on the GDM Music label, which pairs around 30 minutes of score from E la Donna Creò l’Uomo with selections of music from the score for the 1965 film Idole Controluce. As you might expect, the main theme from “E la Donna Creò l’Uomo” can also be found on the comprehensive 15-CD compilation Ennio Morricone: The Complete Edition, released by GDM Music in 2008.
