The complete music soundtrack to the movie is available as an extra on the 2-disk DVD set.

I'm actually interested in this as well. Is there any way to get the whole soundtrack off of my DVD copy of Limelight?

Have you considered recording the audio? It might not be CD quality, but it could get the job done.

Google "CD Theme from Limelight" and you'll find a number of choices. It was quite popular at one time. I've always been fascinated by the number of credits for Limelight which go to Charles Chaplin - including this piece.

Man was quite talented in a number of areas.
