[edit] Blade Runner soundtrack

Was "If I Didn't Care" actually used in Blade Runner? I remember an Ink Spots-sounding song from the original trailer, but upon purchasing the soundtrack many years later, I wonder if this was "One More Kiss, Dear." That song sounds a lot like the Ink Spots (though perhaps also like Rudy Vallee). In any case, the soundtrack CD that I own does not have an Ink Spots song. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 12:42, 6 July 2005 (I forgot to sign this at the time)

According to IMDB this song was indeed "IF I DIDN'T CARE" Written by The Ink Spots Performed by The Ink Spots JayKeaton 17:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

You're right, I suspect the soundtrack CD has "One More Kiss, Dear" as a substitute, perhaps for copyright reasons, perhaps so the entire album would be credited to Vangelis, perhaps both. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

"One More Kiss Dear" is the track used in the Blade Runner film. The Ink Spots track was used in an early workprint, but replaced with the Vangelis track by the time the film was completed. ~CS 21:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
