Haha.  Nice.

I kept thinking it sounded like Rachmaninoff... but it's not.

It is good that you thought that as it was supposed to sound like Rachmaninoff.

It was written for the film "Dangerous Moonlight" and the film director originally wanted to use Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto.

Snobs and plinkers would turn their noses up at such music, but I love it.

Yep.  I've heard the title before.  Just never listened to it.

I started looking for Rach 4, thinking might be it, but still probably not.  Then possibly Shostakovich.  Quick search there.
