The Bad and the Beautiful - David Raksin
The Bad and the Beautiful is of course the title song of the movie of the same name, directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner, with an excellent supporting cast.
It's strange that the tune doesn't appear in any fake and real book collections, nor does it seem to be available on its own, but only in compilation books.
Its lyrical and evocative theme (to use only two of many appropriate clichés) was performed solo by Bill Evans on his second album with Tony Bennett.
