-- Loyn., Variety "...[With] a pulsating mix of flashy cutting and Ry Cooder music....A guilty-pleasure cult movie..."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Terrific
My kids and I enjoyed watching this movie years ago. It stayed in my mind for a long time and I decided to find this movie and get it. No sooner after I received the movie, my kids (now in their 30's) got the movie before I even had the chance to unwrapped it. Overall, it still a good movie.

Streets Of Fire film
 $11.69  
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Ferry's first solo effort since the second breakup of Roxy Music is arguably his best, in part because it continues in the direction the band had been going. It's like AVALON, only more so.
Here, Ferry's lounge lizard affectations are writ large; the lyrical pose is all bruised romantic fatalism (say hello, "Slave to Love"), and the music fits it like a glove. The album's soundscapes are lush and echo-laden, and nearly every track has a discreet disco pulse; "Valentine," the one exception, is mid-tempo reggae. Overlaid with skittish percussion and guitars, BOYS AND GIRLS is the aural equivalent of a white dinner jacket and a half-empty bottle of champagne.
Personnel: Bryan Ferry (vocals, harmonica, piano); Bryan Ferry; Alfa Anderson Barfield (vocals); Alan Spenner, Mark Knopfler, Neil Hubbard (guitar); Omar Hakim (drums); ...
