There are so many, especially from the 1940s, that I'm tempted to cheat and say, "All of it." But on my mind immediately is Waxman's SORRY, WRONG NUMBER. Or anything by Waxman! See, still had to cheat.    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 1:39 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) Steiner's The Big Sleep.    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 2:09 PM     By:   rjc   (Member) Steiner's The Big Sleep. Yes!    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 2:21 PM     By:   .   (Member) Korngold: Anthony Adverse - a masterpiece that needs a complete new recording in modern sound. There is one with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Scott. Varese Sarabande VSD-5285. http://www.amazon.com/Anthony-Adverse-Original-Motion-Picture/dp/B000003TEC That's been discussed here in the past. Terrible performance. John Scott himself was dissatisfied with it.    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 6:19 PM     By:   cody1949   (Member) I forgot to mention Roy Webb's , I REMEMBER MAMA. By the way, I like PFK's selections also.    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 9:20 PM     By:   Doc Loch   (Member) Portrait of Jennie. Although it's mostly arrangements of Debussy (as well as the Herrmann song) it's beautifully done.    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 10:38 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) "RKO Noir" and THE BIG SLEEP remind me that, yes, I'd gladly welcome two Raymond Chandler scores: Steiner THE BG SLEEP Webb (him again) MURDER, MY SWEET    Posted:   May 17, 2015 - 10:41 PM     By:   DS   (Member) Speaking of Webb, "The Enchanted Cottage" would also be very nice to have one day.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 2:20 AM     By:   The CinemaScope Cat   (Member) Unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be much love for Herbert Stothart around here. I'd love to have his scores to National Velvet (1944) and Picture Of Dorian Gray (1945) on CD and while we're at it, George Bassman's lovely score to The Clock (1945) too.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 9:16 AM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Yes, you missed it. I mentioned DORIAN GRAY.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 9:16 AM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Yes, you missed it. I mentioned DORIAN GRAY.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 9:27 AM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) ALINTGEN -- While I'm still waiting in hopes you'll identify the obscure Korngold WB score… it occurs to me to ask if you're speculating about the DR. JECKYLL-MR. HYDE/JAWS connection, or do you actually know of a confirmation that the Waxman score's "stalking" motif "inspired" John Williams? Otherwise, perhaps it would be more appropriate to state that Waxman's theme "prefigured" rather than "inspired" the Williams theme.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 7:14 PM     By:   pp312   (Member) Unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be much love for Herbert Stothart around here. I'd love to go back in time and severely berate the man for persisting with a saccharine style that ruined too many otherwise respectable movies and was way out of date even at the time. That's a kind of love, isn't it?    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 7:35 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) "Double Indemnity" (like "Anthony Adverse," the rerecording doesn't cut it, and I'm not at all averse to rerecordings) - Rózsa "Anthony Adverse" (see above) - Korngold "Escape Me Never" - Korngold "Suspicion" - Waxman "Sorry, Wrong Number" - Waxman    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 7:42 PM     By:   cody1949   (Member) Yes, you missed it. I mentioned DORIAN GRAY. And I mentioned THE HUMAN COMEDY.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 7:44 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) pp132, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you did go back to Culver City in the 40's I'd want to be there, too, to reassure Mr. Stothart that you don't speak for all of us movie music lovers. But then, the Stothart dichotomy has been a pretty steady staple here at the FSM Board for many years now...    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 8:38 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) "Double Indemnity" (like "Anthony Adverse," the rerecording doesn't cut it, and I'm not at all averse to rerecordings) - Rózsa "Anthony Adverse" (see above) - Korngold "Escape Me Never" - Korngold Schiffy, I'd love to have these in definitive new recordings, too, but sadly there's only ever likely to be one bite of the apple for re-recordings of all these scores. So many great choices in this thread, but given the lack of commercial potential for material of this vintage I fear that getting newly-recorded versions (even of scores that have never had any kind of a release) is just a pipe dream. On the other hand, Rozsa and Korngold do seem the most probable of the lot so I hope I'm proven wrong.    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 8:43 PM     By:   Traveling Matt   (Member) Sahara (Rózsa)    Posted:   May 18, 2015 - 10:26 PM     By:   PFK   (Member) Sahara (Rózsa) Yes!
