Still a great score though. (MGH, I'd have thought you would have beaten me to this one.)    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 8:37 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) The Western version of 1941.    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 9:56 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) We talking elmer?    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 11:41 AM     By:   Alexander Zambra   (Member) Alleluia!! Everybody's got it wrong. Almost sent me by the wrong road.    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 12:01 PM     By:   James MacMillan   (Member) Let's consult the 'Oracle' on this one... (or an over-the-top Donald Pleasence).    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 4:36 PM     By:   mgh   (Member) One that doesn't sit high in the John Sturges canon. Still a great score though. (MGH, I'd have thought you would have beaten me to this one.) Thanks, Vinyl. I've been on the road all day and didn't see it until now. One of John's lesser efforts (although it has some fun stuff in it) and one of Elmer's better ones.    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 4:53 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Don't know where we're goin' or where we've been!    Posted:   Sep 13, 2014 - 9:20 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Filmed in Ultra Panavision. Released in Cinerama.    Posted:   Sep 18, 2014 - 3:26 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Only Burt Lancaster could manage to make gauntlets look sexy, even next to the gorgeous Lee Remick. The composer recalled the gala premiere where dignitaries arrived in horse-drawn carriages.    Posted:   Sep 18, 2014 - 4:41 PM     By:   CinemaScope   (Member) Yeah, great score, so-so comedy western. Like a lot of tough leading men, Burt just can't do comedy. I'd still buy a Blu-ray if the transfer was really good, as I love these big epic films of the sixties, even when they weren't that great.    Posted:   Sep 21, 2014 - 1:49 AM     By:   Chickenhearted   (Member) One that doesn't sit high in the John Sturges canon.

Archibald   (Member) Saw this as a roadshow, in Cinerama, at the Warner Theatre in Pittsburgh. Still have the souvenir program. Wonderful, wonderful Bernstein score. Film just dragged, though it did seem to have a penchant for major characters having scenes where they appear in bathtubs... Remember Lancaster in a bathtub, still chomping on his cigar. Funny. Film made me smile a lot, but rarely laugh. Though Martin Landau as a clueless Native American was uncomfortable even back when...    Posted:   Sep 21, 2014 - 10:04 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) Yeah, great score, so-so comedy western. Like a lot of tough leading men, Burt just can't do comedy. I'd still buy a Blu-ray if the transfer was really good, as I love these big epic films of the sixties, even when they weren't that great. My take on it was John Sturges (like John Huston (BEAT THE DEVIL), Steven Spielberg (1941), Carol Reed (FLAP) and many a film director) was great at integrating comedy into all kinds of films but not when the whole thing is supposed to be funny. Personally I think Lancaster had a wonderful knack for comedy in THE SCALPHUNTERS, THE RAINMAKER, THE PROFESSIONALS and even parts of ELMER GANTRY.     Non-Film Score Discussion: THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
