ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part 4-41

I MARZIANI HANNO DODICI MANI (1964) I Marziani Hanno Dodici Mani is an Italian science fiction comedy directed by Franco Castellano and Giuseppe ‘Pipolo’ Moccia. It tells the story of three aliens from a faraway planet, who arrive on Earth in Italy the early sixties. They have the ability to shape shift into any form, and once they arrive they decide to take on human identities so that they can study the species incognito. However, the more time they spend on Earth, and in Rome in particular, the more they fall in love with “la dolce vita” – and so they decide to hatch a plot which will allow them to stay on Earth forever. The only available piece of Ennio Morricone’s music from this score is called “Marcia dei Marziani,” and is a short 82-second piece that begins with a snare drum tattoo, but eventually picks up a circus-like orchestral accompaniment with oompah brasses, trilling flutes, and a quirky percussive beat that sounds like a variation on traditional big top music. Beyond that, in terms of what the rest of the score sounds like, your guess is as good as mine – but you can listen to the March on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KKxVLTUFjc.
