Most of the rest of Lyn Murray's feature film output is comedies, and as we all know, comedy doesn't sell.
MGM has "Period Of Adjustment" (1962) and "Come Fly With Me" (1963), but no one is getting much out of Warner Bros.' MGM holdings these days.
Paramount has two Murray comedies of its own: "Wives and Lovers" (1963) and "Promise Her Anything" (1966). But the latter is complicated by a Kapp Records LP that was issued.
And Universal has the 1967 Rosalind Russell comedy "Rosie!", the 1969 Andy Griffith family film "Angel In My Pocket, and the 1970 Dan Blocker comedy western "The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County."
... another unreleased score. Will Lyn ever get his due? " frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
This question never got answered, did it Last Child?
There might be enough Lyn Murray material @ Paramount for at least another album. (right, Kritzerland or Intrada?)
Escape from Zahrain (1962)
Casanova's Big Night (1954)
The Girls of Pleasure Island (1953)
Son of Paleface (1952)
... plus there's this Fox title, too: D-Day the 6th of June (1956)
I guess he's junior varsity to most labels. Paramount would neeed to supply the recordings as none of those titles are itemized at the Wyoming library (unless they're in a MISC. box). There's plenty of non-comedy soundtrack tapes there, but not necessarily for Paramount. Over two CD's worth of HITCHCOCK HOUR, which I'm surprised Varese never did. The main theme in SIGNPOST TO MURDER is used in episode "Dividing Wall." It's funny how his music followed the trends over the decades - he was the Forrest Gump of composers.

Lyn Murray's wives (a small number of them, anyway) have come out of Paramount's closet:
... and since Quartet Records had reissued a Kapp LP before (The Sun Also Rises), perhaps Murray's Promise Her Anything LP program might get onto CD someday?
Listening now to Murray's fine score for the Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode "Who Needs an Enemy?". High quality stuff. Those Hitchcock Hour releases by Varese were exceptional. I'm really looking forward to LLL's Time Tunnel scores I ordered today!

I had high hopes, but after playing the samples, the only Time Tunnel scores that I liked were the pilot by Williams and the last episode by Drasnin. Lyn still has some excellent dramatic scores from HITCH HOUR and other series that could be released.
