"Saturday Night After the Movies"

"THE MOVIE ALBUM starring Ramsey Lewis with a large supporting cast of musicians under the direction  of Richard Evans is a natural, beautiful production.  The source material is drawn from the rich resources of the motion-picture industry's wellspring of screen themes.  One movie theme after another in recent years has leaped to incredible heights of popularity.  This musical spring tide has been rising with the powerful aid of some magnetically attractive motion-picture music.  Certainly the trend of utilizing movies as a vehicle for creative thematic scores offers heavy competition to Broadway musicals which have held a dominant hand as a major outlet for American musical literature."
