If you haven't seen this classic British Gangster movie, you should hunt it down now.
It's a favourite of mine and easily stands up against other greats like Get Carter and The Long Good Friday. Directed by Paul McGuigan and featuring a Powerhouse performance by Paul Bettany as the Gangster, it's set during the sixties which gives it a great cool retro feel and the score by Jazz legend John Dankworth captures the feel beautifully.
And how cool is the poster artwork!

Fantastic! I've been looking for this everywhere after seeing the film and came up with nothing. I especially wanted it after realizing Dankworth scored many of the tracks. The 60's feel on some of the tracks is just amazing
Thanks for this Jay, it's been a long time since Johnny Dankworth's name appeared. As a companion piece, I'd like to share Sexy Beast with you and your readers. Enjoy...

You might not consider it crime-jazz but I think it's definitely spy-lounge.
I hope you enjoy it!
A very nice surprise to hear Engelbert Humperdinck singing Ten Guitars on this fine album. I thank you very much.

Thanks!
this is a real gem of an album the mere thought of john dankworth makes my head spin..amazing
thanx for sharing jay.
Did you swap track 1 (Neil Hannon) for the Tony Bennett version? Or was it a typo error? Anyways your blog is just awesome.Keep up the good work.
I didn't label the collection, you know how it flies off and searches some dodgy online database for the album info :) well that's what it did!
The title track isn't Tony Bennett on the soundtrack.
Glad you like the site :)
