La La Land, houw about a reissue of the Sony album of An Affair to Remember coupled with the entire score made from the stereo mags at Fox.
Can you get the two Fox Waxman scores that were on RCA records - Peyton Place and Adventures of a Young Man. Neither score was complete and both had that really fake RCA album reverb.
1. Smile is in Stereo
2. I'm not aware of a film version of the song. I'll check and see if there is any difference on the songs we used (the one on disc 1 and the one on disc 2)
3. Affair is certainly on our radar.
4. Didn't think about Peyton, but Hemingway, sadly, is all but destoyed. I think all we can use is the original LP master for that one.

Many thanks for the great Newman title! This is really an outstanding release.
With Sony Music now being "cooperative" there are plenty of possibilities. Would they licence out Mancini titles as well? Maybe "East Of Eden" and "Rebel Without A Cause" are now an option as well. This is really exciting news!

MV thanks for the reply on a Certain Smile.
The Two Johnny Mathis vocals- on the record it is a columbia pop coverversion with large orchestra and some chorus in the background.
The film versin is a small combo. Mathis also sings a slightly different lyric in each.
On the record he sings "Suddenly you know whymy heart sings" In the film version he sings, "Suddenly youknow why Paris sings"
Newman was really on a roll with this score.
The film stars Christine Carrere, Rosanno Brazzi, Joan Fontaine and Bradford Dillman.
Some of the great themes include-
love theme for Carrere and Dillman - this themehas two connections - quite a few notes for the first four measures are note for note the theme for john williams E.T. !!
This theme is also lifted from the main Title of Newmans the dark angel but with the first note of that thme dropped.
love theme for carrere and Brazzi, broughtto glorious climax whwn carrere sees the sea for the first time
wonderful theme for Joan Fontaine.
There is also a great piece that accompanies a wedding scene. Neman fans will certainly recognize this. It first appears as the music for the Festival of Fools in Newmans Hunchback of notre Dance.
It later appears as a choral festivity piece in Newmans Prince of Foxes.
lost choral finale. which I don't think exists anymore.
Fox had a tradition in scope stereo of ending the film with a choral versinof the love them- just look at the choral finales of three Coinsin theFountain, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, The Best of everything.
Fox with Ken darby had three such finales NOT used in the final film.
Prince Valiant- the chorus sings the love theme with lyrica called I Do, I Do
Peyton place - the original finale without chorus can be heard only on the Varese rerecording - there it is mistakenly called end cast, but it is really the unused finale. On top of that should be heard the payton place them- the Wonderful seasonof Love (not used till its later sequel).
A certain smile - this was recorded in Germany with the Graunke orchestra becaue of the musicians strike. A German chorus sang a Certain smile during the finale, but ken Darby said the German accents were so strong, you couldn't tell what they were singing.
This information on these finales all came from Ken darby himself.
It would be great if Twilight Time released the fim in widescreen stereo. Fox movies shows it only in pan scan from a very old transfer with poor color. The film is not a bad movie at all, and all shot on location inEurope.
The bad point is the lead gal, Miss Carrere. She is not a very good actress at all, but the film still survies even with her.

A CERTAIN SMILE is one of my most sought after Newman titles. Hard to believe it's finally a reality after all these years.
