Just popped in my DVD of O. Henry's Full House and that is indeed the main title.

It is indeed O. Henry's - congratulations to those who guessed. It is indeed a gorgeous score, I believe it is indeed complete and The Last Leaf is indescribably beautiful - and it is indeed in that push-pull early stereo. It has a companion score on the CD, too, which is also wonderful. Conducted by Newman but different composer.

Could the score be the several-times-asked-for Way of a Gaucho? Newman conducted that...

Will this include the source cue from the restaurant scene . . .
. . . a much-discussed waltz by Czibulka?

Kangaroo? Sol Kaplan?
Luck of the Irish?
1940s?
previous guesses: Friedhofer? Harline? 1950s?
Luck of the Irish it is - a gorgeous thing by Mr. Mockridge.

Mr. Preston Neal Jones is going to be thrilled by this!
Wonder where he is......
Busy writing the liner notes, which are due in a few days 
I'm told this is pretty complete - we left off some of the endless mono iterations of Camptown Races, and a few source music things - but we do have the discussed waltz. CD will run close to seventy-nine minutes.

Has "Demetrius......" been sent out yet, waiting for this and a Bernstein?
As stated a few posts above, Monday morning, many weeks early.

DEAR JOE CAPS --
Yes, I'm slaving away on the liner notes, and you have contributed to them with your knowledgeable insights into The Last Leaf. May I credit you as "Film Music Expert, Joe Caps"?
AND -
On a similar note -- do you happen to know if the beautiful Main Title theme under discussion had its origin in any earlier Newman opus? I have a vague memory of reading somewhere, many years ago, (perhaps in Films in Review), that this tune appears in BELLE STARR...
St. Patrick's Day may be appropriate, but my heart will always hear this score -- especially that heart-breaking Main Title -- as Christmas music. For Bruce to bring O. HENRY and LUCK OF THE IRISH -- and wait till you hear that one! -- into the limelight is one of the greatest early Christmas presents imaginable. Thanks again, maestro!

Hey Bruce,
With today's technology able to bring us about wonderful restorations of scores such as Demetrius, The Egyptian, 12 Mile Reef and others, any chance of the same treatment being applied to scores such as Conrack or Paper Chase, which especially for Conrack it would be nice to see some additional cues get released. And while we're on the subject of Williams at Fox, how about the film tracks of Cinderella Liberty? Actually, that all sounds like it might make a nice set together...
