Or are both the original recording and Bernstein all there is?

Any input would be very much appreciated! Hope everyone's having a wonderful week!

As far as I know, Herrmann's original recording of Cape Fear has never had a legal release, so I would certainly welcome a release of that (as long as it isn't Stylotone releasing it). I have the Bernstein recording for the remake (which incorporates excerpts from the rejected Torn Curtain score), but I'm not sure how much is missing from the album.

Huh, I didn't know there wasn't a legal release of the original. I really like the Bernstein, but somehow I doubt that's the whole score.

I'm wondering now...I get the feeling if there were more then FSM or LLL or Intrada would have released it by now.

You can find Bernard Herrmann's complete original tracks to "Cape Fear" - minus dialogue and sound effects - on youtube.com

Funny, I just played this last night. Bernstein's is enough for me.

Probably needs a rerecording though. If the tapes existed, some label like Varese would have put the original Cape Fear out by now.

Not so. Universal as a studio is slow to approve things. We know that many Hitchcock scores survive -- Marnie, both used and unused scores (Goodwin & Mancini, respectively) for Frenzy, for example. But something has held up their release from the Universal vaults. We get definitive versions of North By Northwest and To Catch a Thief from Intrada, The Wrong Man from FSM...but the Universal Hitchcocks have been conspicuously absent, and Universal releases in general a very slow trickle from only a couple labels.

The behind the scenes stuff on the DVD release features perfect sounding excerpts of both scores.

The Mancini too? Whoa, this might be a must have.

Off topic, but I watched Red Dawn today after three decades and LOVED the score! I might have to dig into some Basil soon...

What in on there just may be what survives and not indicative more material that is useable.

What I last saw was that the tapes for Mancini's score are missing. Supposedly the tapes to Goodwin's replacement score are safe.

Tru. True.
But, it was only an excerpt of the Main Title.

Keep hope alive.
This is my Holiest of Holy's (the Goodwin)

Not familiar with the Goodwin, but I'd LOVE to hear the unused Mancini score.

Frenzy was a good movie imo. I think the critics kind of went overboard saying it was a "return to form" and "best since the Birds"...uhh, I don't rank it with Marnie, but that's just me. A clever and blackly funny movie.

FAMILY PLOT escaped, somehow.

If only for that one chipper cue of strings for when Sam comes home, I'd also love the original CAPE FEAR.

And YAY! Besides Close Encounters, it's my favorite Williams score.

Most of the scores of Man Who Knew Too Much and Trouble with Harry still exist.
they mags were at Paramount still. I catalogued them myself in the early nineties.

Reissues sure would be welcome on this end.

They can't be reissued because they've never been released, rerecordings aside. I've long hoped for some big Hitchcock at Universal box set, if any of the labels can make it happen...
