Wild Orchid soundtrack CD cover
I was practically in love with the Main Theme and the Love Theme. Beautiful. Seems to be the only two pieces in the album that had the movie's air of decadence, sensuality and mystery. The rest goes for the party/carnival mood plus a few that juz feels out of place. My favourite was It only has to happen once, performed by Ambitious Lovers, which was played in the scene when Wheeler first saw Emily. She was walking across the hotel lobby and Wheeler was watching her from the bar. I'm crazy over that song and it drives me nuts to find it excluded from the soundtrack album.
