From the Don Juan DeMarco movie Wikipedia:
Don Juan DeMarco is a 1995 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Johnny Depp as John Arnold DeMarco,
a man who believes himself to be Don Juan, the greatest lover in the world. Clad in a cape and domino mask, DeMarco
undergoes psychiatric treatment with Marlon Brando's character, Dr. Jack Mickler, to cure him of his apparent delusion.
But the psychiatric sessions have an unexpected effect on the psychiatric staff, some of whom find themselves inspired by
DeMarco's delusion; the most profoundly affected is Dr. Mickler himself, who rekindles the romance in his complacent
marriage.
The movie is based on two different sources; the modern-day story is based on director/screenwriter Jeremy Leven's
short story Don Juan DeMarco and the Centerfold (the movie's original title before the studio changed it shortly before
release), while the flashbacks depicting DeMarco's back-story are based on the more familiar legend of Don Juan, especially
as told by Lord Byron in his version of the legend.
Actors/Actress (most popular): Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando, Faye Dunaway
The major hit song from the movie "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" by Bryan Adams. At the time of the song was
first heard, it was originally from the Don Juan DeMarco soundtrack. (It would later be included on Adams' album
18 Til I Die.) The original music score was produced by
Michael Kamen.
The Bryan Adams hit song leads the soundtrack. And if you enjoy this song, you will enjoy the soundtrack score.
The songs are based on the hit song by Bryan Adams, in Italian, Mexican, and Classical forms.
"Habanera" is a very well-done Classical version of "Have You Ever Loved A Woman." "Don Juan"
definitely has an Italian fell to it, acoustic guitar styled - The Godfather Italian styled music, also included
you will hear, is "Have You Ever Loved A Woman." "I Was Born In Mexico" has a Mexican style to it, and yes,
it's a Mexican styled "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" ? Well, yes and no. It's fast-paced and Classically (well)
done. "Has Amado Uma Mujer De Vera" is "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," in Spanish. The vocalist is Nydia.
Classical music returns with the beautifully "Dona Julia." And yes, it's another great instrumental version
of the Bryan Adams hit song. "Don Alfonso" is all-Classical. No Bryan Adams hit song here. Well, kind of,
sprinkled here and there. It is a 6-minute plus Classical masterpiece. And another great all-Classical piece follows:
"Arabia." It's 7 minutes plus. More Classical - the short piece, "Don Octavio Del Flores." Simply
beautiful. Ending this great soundtrack, is another beautiful Classical piece - "Dona Ana." Yes, it does have
that Bryan Adams hit song incorporated into it.
Throughout the album, the soundtrack is heavily based on Bryan Adams' "Have You Ever Loved A Woman." All
exceptional pieces. Bryan Adams co-wrote the song, with Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange. I'm sure that
he, along with Kamen and Lange, were extremely proud in how this song was done, in different musical genres. The soundtrack
to Don Juan DeMarco is a must for Classical music fans. It's very spiritual, moving, relaxing. A great soundtrack
to sit back, relax, and enjoy.
