ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part 4-43

I DUE EVASI DI SING SING (1964)

I Due Evasi di Sing Sing is an Italian comedy directed by Lucio Fulci, who would later go on to direct numerous influential giallo horror films including Una Lucertola Con la Pelle di Donna, Zombi 2, The Beyond, and City of the Living Dead. Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia star as the Bacalones, two Sicilian cousins who are imprisoned in New York state’s notorious Sing Sing prison and are due to be executed in the gas chamber. As the date of their execution draws near, Franco starts the process of writing his memoirs – and so unfolds the tragi-comic tale of how they ended up in the slammer, which all began when the two of them unwittingly saved the life of a Mafia boss (Arturo Dominici) during an assassination attempt at a Turkish bath house, several years previously.

The only available piece of Ennio Morricone’s music from I Due Evasi di Sing Sing is the main title track, a 3-minute piece which alternates off-kilter arrangements of American patriotic standards like The Star Spangled Banner and Anchors Aweigh, with Italianate caper music, snare drum riffs, and bustling jazz licks for xylophones, muted brass, plucked bass, and a percussion combo.
