Thief of Hearts did not become a hit at the box office and, other than the title song, the music did not make much a dent on the charts. Annabella Lwin, who had departed her lead singer role with Bow Wow Wow at this point, would contribute "Passion Play." Anderson would also perform the vocals for Moroder's theme to The NeverEnding Story in 1984. Other tracks and artists on the album include E.G Daily (who would appear in Pee Wee's Big Adventure the next year) with "Love in the Shadows" and "Just Imagine (Way Beyond Fear)" from Beth Anderson and Joe "Bean" Esposito. The Dance Mix which hit the latter chart is included as one of the bonus tracks on the new reissue. It became another hit for Manchester when it hit the Hot 100 and went to the Top 20 on the AC and Dance charts. The synthpop-flavored "Thief of Hearts" continued the sound that Manchester had begun in her final years at Arista (chronicled on last year's complete singles compilation Through the Eyes of Love from Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music). The soundtrack album was anchored by the vocal version of Moroder's theme performed and co-written by Melissa Manchester. The eventual album preserved five cuts of his music. A pioneer of electronic music, Faltermeyer would utilize that style for his score.

The rest of the score would be written by Moroder's longtime collaborator Harold Faltermeyer. He would, however, only compose the main theme for the film. Hoping to replicate that success, they turned to Giorgio Moroder, who composed the score to Flashdance, for this new film.

The movie was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, who had a huge hit the previous year with Flashdance at the box office and also on the charts with its smash theme song performed by Irene Cara. Cheers' George Wendt also has a supporting role. The two soon begin an affair which leads to complications with Ray and Scott's criminal partner Buddy, portrayed by David Caruso, and the situation leads to a deadly confrontation at the end. After inadvertently stealing Mickey's private journals among the other possessions, he becomes infatuated and decides to insinuate himself into her life by posing as a client who needs his apartment redecorated. The film starred newcomer Steven Bauer as Scott, a burglar who breaks into the home of married couple Mickey (Barbara Williams) and Ray (John Getz). This new edition has been expanded by three bonus tracks and features new liner notes written by our very own Joe Marchese. The album's only prior release on CD was back during its original release and only in Germany, at that.
No Honor Among Thieves: Scott is right to be wary of the cokehead Buddy, and their unseen boss seems to be skimming more than his fair share of the loot.Interestingly, her husband Ray sees through his deception immediately, and even Mickey clues in pretty fast that he's not from the social class he claims to be part of. Mock Millionaire: Scott pretends to be a wealthy man and hires Mickey to redecorate his apartment as part of his scheme to get close to her.Entranced by the beautiful woman in the painting, he sets out to deceive Mickey into entering a romantic relationship with him by pretending to be the ideal man she fantasizes about in her journals. Scott Muller (Bauer) is the cat burglar who stole Mickey's journals along with a painting of her. When her home is ransacked, she is deeply disturbed at the loss of her personal journals, in which she poured out her true feelings and innermost fantasies. Mickey Davis (Williams) is a wealthy San Francisco woman stuck in an unsatisfying marriage. It's notable as the lowest-grossing movie from the production team of Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson. Thief of Hearts is a 1984 American erotic drama film written and directed by Douglas Day Stewart and starring Steven Bauer, Barbara Williams, John Getz, and David Caruso.
