Thanks, by not nearly as much as the folks coming up with the questions.

dan's right about SHE. Mind you, I'd made it so easy that it couldn't have been anything else! By the way dan - Do you think Xavier Cugat actually wrote a score for WHITE ZOMBIE? I'm pretty sure they just tracked in one of his dance records as a source cue...

Anyway, here's another one. Which Hammer film re-used James Bernard's thrilling music for the climactic chase in (HORROR OF) DRACULA? Clue - I'm not talking about DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS, which repeated the ending of the previous film as a prologue. This one wasn't even a Dracula movie.

XAVIER CUGAT music was most likely used as a source. Could the answer for your question be LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES-73?

I am a composer who has scored over a hundred films from the early 60's through the 80's.In the 60's I collaborated with one of the most popular film composers of all time on a few films. In the 70's i did some stylish nice scores for a few genre films. WHO AM I?

Not LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES. Not a vampire film, although Cushing and Lee were in it. Same chase music as (HORROR OF) DRACULA tracked in.

Drawing a blank on yours, dan. Hint?

Answer: who is Dominic Frontiere?

TO ADVISE AND CONSENT- SHUCKS-Your winning streak came to an end, good guess but no it was not MR FRONTIERE-So as GRAHAM Suggested I will give a hint- a composer from ITALY.

TO GRAHAM- Could the answer be HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES-59?

HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES is correct. They re-used James Bernard's chase cue from DRACULA near the beginning, when the evil Sir Hugo sets his dogs loose across the moors to catch the escaped girl.

Still drawing a blank on the Italian composer...

TO -Yes and I am surprise our friend Advise and consent and you are having trouble since your both are getting over 90% of my questions right so far. so let me give a nice big hint-the man this composer worked with in the 60's is just about the most prolific composer in film history. May I also say the genre films he scored in the 70's were not big hits but the scores were solid and Italian film score fans know of them-one more hint -CHRISTOPHER LEE?

I'm on shaky ground with this one, but I wonder if dan is thinking of Carlo Savina... I'm just guessing because of his association with Miklós Rózsa ("one of the most popular film composers of all time"). Ashamed to admit that Italian genre films are not my strong point.

Good choice but that is not the answer-Ok I will give a bigger hint now, the composer who he worked with is still active and in his 80's, now that should narrow it down, the composer himself I am talking about died years ago. Now even a bigger hint-arranger ----------spaghetti westerns-etc etc

While your thinking of that let me give another question. This should be a easy one-what do these composers have in common-EDWARD WARD-RALPH BURNS-JOHN ADDISON-EDWIN ASTLEY-MISHA SEGAL-DAVID BROEKMAN,GUSTAV HINRICHS and I am not going to name one more composer because that would make it a total giveaway.

Do I get half a point if I say that the "other" composer is Ennio Morricone?

 
 
 Posted:   Jan 26, 2014 - 1:04 PM   
 By:   dan the man   (Member)

Yes you get 49%[ha-ha-ha], that's the guy- the answer is BRUNO NICOLAI-who worked with Ennio on those popular spaghetti westerns in the 60's. Some of Bruno's own genre scores among the many films he did were COUNT DRACULA-70-[LEE] NIGHT OF THE BLOOD MONSTER-72- [LEE][LOVELY SCORE]-NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE-72-LOVELY SCORE] THE TEMPTER-74- [ARTHUR KENNEDY], EYEBALL-78 ETC ETC, BRUNO was a fine underrated composer who scored westerns, spy movies-- MONDO CANE NO 2-Action crime films, that cult classic THE CHRISTMAS THAT ALMOST WASN'T, ETC ETC ETC, As mentioned over a 100 films. Solid melodic composer .

Well, I may not know Bruno Nicolai's scores as much as I should, but I sure know my Phantoms of the Opera.

And on that note - what about these blokes?

Salter /Skinner /Charles Previn
Benjamin Frankel
Harry Robinson
Ennio Morricone
Danny Elfman

I knew you would get that one, ANDREW LLYOD WEBBER of course was the one I was holding out on.
