I watched the movie Her Alibi on its bare-bones, cropped DVD. I've always had a soft spot for Tom Selleck movies, which is why I was willing to break my “no widescreen, no purchase” policy. The sub-$10 price had a little influence as well.
I was struck by just how terrible the score for that film is. It's not just distracting, it's hilarious. It's full of “wah wah waaah” and “sproing!” noises to accompany the physical humor, swaggering trumpets when the tough guys are on screen, and background themes that Nintendo would have rejected as too corny for Mario to woo Princess Peach with.
Even so, it's not in the same league as the 80's synthapop music by the Alan Parsons Project which underlies the mediaeval action rom-com Ladyhawk. That still gets my vote for most distracting and hilariously inappropriate score of all time.
