Fletch is a 1985 comedy film about a wisecracking investigative newspaper reporter, Irwin M. Fletcher (Chevy Chase), who writes under the name of Jane Doe. The film was based on the popular Gregory Mcdonald novels, the screenplay was written by Andrew Bergman and it was directed by Michael Ritchie. The soundtrack was released on vinyl and cassette only, although there have been bootleg CDs circulate on the internet, there has never been an official CD release. In the 1970s, Burt Reynolds and Mick Jagger were considered to portray Fletch on the big screen but these suggestions were rejected by Mcdonald. The author agreed to the casting of Chevy Chase despite never seeing the comedian in anything. Chase reportedly enjoyed the role because it allowed him to play several different characters and work with props. In a 2004 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chase confirmed this was his favorite role. Fletch earned several positive reviews from critics and performed well at the box office and home video. It has since developed a cult following and was followed by a 1989 sequel, Fletch Lives. A prequel, Fletch Won, has been in talks for more than a decade. A few quick definitions: There are traditional orchestral scores whereby the drama is conveyed by an orchestra (strings, woodwind, brass, percussion). There are pop soundtracks, which are a collection of pop songs from different artists. And then there are pop scores, a collection of instrumental music composed and recorded with contemporary instrumentation such as guitars and synthesizers. This film was lucky enough to have a pop score from Harold Faltermeyer. Much like Faltermeyer's score to Beverly Hills Cop, the synth hooks seem to embellish the progress of the detective story. His uncanny choice of sounds and terrific melodies make Fletch a complete joy. There were however, several pop songs used in the film which were included on the soundtrack. I have included full scans.
