REMAKE SCORES, PART THREE
By Scott Bettencourt
In the previous
column in this series, I erroneously reported the name of one of our
readers who suggested an entry. The reader's name is Tom Soter (not Tom
Home), and he is the author of the McFarland book Investigating Couples:
A Critical Analysis of The Thin Man, The Avengers & The X-Files.
Two other readers, Jeremy Moniz and "Conrad," suggested that the 1993
Body Snatchers (scored by Joe Delia) should be considered the third
film version of Jack Finney's novel The Body Snatchers. I thought
about including it, but I consider it more of a quasi-sequel to the 1978
Philip Kaufman version than a true remake, so I omitted it.
Josh Gizelt pointed out that Last Man Standing, the third unofficial
adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's classic novel Red Harvest (and
officially a remake of Yojimbo), had a rejected score by Elmer Bernstein
as well as its final score by Ry Cooder.
