Digitmovies is pleased to release, for the first time on CD, the OST by Carlo Savina
for the spy film ''Suicide Mission to Singapore'' (original title ''Goldsnake Anonima
Killers'').
SOUNDTRACK
For this OST, Carlo Savina composed lounge background music, at times dominated
by a mysterious Asian vibe (Track 2) and by sophisticated jazzy vibes. "Gold
Snake" (Tracks 1 and 17), the main score, is interpreted by the fabulous voice of Iva
Zanicchi, written for a symphony orchestra, and accompanied by the New Orlandi
choir (the piece was recorded on 45 RIFI RFN NP 16141). The leitmotif is reprised in
a shake version (Tr.3) and a slow danceable version (Tr.10). The well-known actress
Yoko Tani, the film's protagonist, performs the romantic piece "Crazy" (Tr.7), which is
also recorded in an instrumental version (Tr.4, Tr.11). The spy aspect of the plot is
emphasized by suspense and action music (Tr.8, Tr.9, Tr.12, Tr.13, Tr.15). For this
CD the mono master tapes of the recording session were used.
DIRECTOR AND CAST
Directed in 1966 by Ferdinando Baldi. Starring Juan Cortés, Annabella Incontrera,
Yoko Tani, Stanley Kent, Selleh Melan.
PLOT
US secret agent Kurt Jackson is sent to Singapore to track down professor Wang Li
and his son, who have both fled China. The shady dealer Chang Tu and his gang
are after Wang Li because they want to get a hold of the atomic formula he has
discovered, which can be used to build small bombs. A clash between the agent and
the criminal organization is inevitable. Wang Li's son is killed which allows the
criminals to take possession of the first part of the formula, but the scientist flees and
hides out among Buddhist monks at a temple on the sacred island of Pantgor. The
decisive duel between opposing forces takes place inside the sacred walls. Kurt
finally manages to beat his opponents and take possession of the sought-after
formula. At this point, Annie Wong, an attractive Chinese girl who had assumed the
role of Kurt's guardian angel, turns out to be an obstacle to Kurt's mission. He is
forced to get rid of her before returning triumphantly to New York.
