"Catch Me If You Can" is a soundtrack composed by John Williams for the 2002 film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg. The film is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a con artist who successfully impersonated a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, among other professions, before being caught by the FBI. The soundtrack was released on December 10, 2002, by DreamWorks Records. The soundtrack features 12 tracks, with a total running time of 49 minutes and 22 seconds. The first track, "Catch Me If You Can", is a jazzy, upbeat piece that sets the tone for the film. The second track, "The Float", is a slower, more contemplative piece that features a solo piano. The third track, "Come Fly With Me", is a classic Frank Sinatra song that is used in the film. The fourth track, "Recollections (The Father's Theme)", is a hauntingly beautiful piece that features a solo cello. The fifth track, "The Airport Scene", is a tense, suspenseful piece that features a lot of percussion and brass. The sixth track, "The Girl From Ipanema", is another classic song that is used in the film. The seventh track, "Learning the Ropes", is a fast-paced, energetic piece that features a lot of percussion and brass. The eighth track, "Getting the Team Together", is a more subdued piece that features a solo piano. The ninth track, "Reflections", is a slow, contemplative piece that features a solo cello. The tenth track, "Frank's Theme", is a jazzy, upbeat piece that features a lot of percussion and brass. The eleventh track, "The Christmas Song", is a classic holiday song that is used in the film. The twelfth and final track, "Closing In", is a tense, suspenseful piece that features a lot of percussion and brass. Overall, the "Catch Me If You Can" soundtrack is a masterful work of art that perfectly captures the mood and tone of the film. John Williams' use of jazz and classical music elements, as well as his skillful orchestration, make this soundtrack a must-listen for any fan of film music.
