THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS
Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 327
Composer Jerry Goldsmith was 36 when he composed the music for the 1966 Columbia film The Trouble with Angels, coming after his score to A Patch of Blue and right before The Blue Max. He had not scored many comedies to that point, but still had come into a voice of his own. He chose to compose music that acknowledged the girls’ cartoonish antics as well as their rock ’n’ roll era, but tied it all together with a versatile theme, containing an emotional sensitivity that matches the film’s sincere heart.
This release mark's the premiere appearance of the stereo soundtrack from the original first-generation LP masters, presenting a striking clarity as heard on Intrada's previous release, The Elmer Bernstein AVA Collection. In addition, Sony Pictures provided the complete mono session elements, allowing Intrada to also present the entire score in mono, which includes several key musical sequences not included on the original LP.
The film was adapted from the 1962 novel Life With Mother Superior, written by New York advertising queen Jane Trahey and based on her own experiences attending a Catholic all-girls school in Chicago. Starring Rosalind Russell as Mother Superior, The Trouble with Angels opens with Mary (Hayley Mills) reluctantly arriving at St. Francis Academy for Girls. On the train she meets fellow classmate Rachel (June Harding), and suggests her first of many “scathingly brilliant ideas." For the next four years, Mary tests the patience of Mother Superior: smoking cigarettes, complaining, putting dish soap in the nuns’ tea, giving tours of the off-limits cloister, and plenty of other miscreant mischief. Gradually, though, Mary’s heart begins to soften.

Wonderful release! The film has its moments but the score is downright sublime at times.
Thanks Intrada!

Sublime music indeed! The old CD was once a prized possession of mine, regardless of its less than pristine sound quality. To have the album now taken from a first generation source is sheer joy. That it comes supplemented with the entire score taken from the original recording sessions is the kind of miraculous treat labels such as Intrada keep spoiling us with. Heartfelt kudos to all involved with this heavenly release.

From the day I saw the film in the cinema this wonderful Goldsmith score has remained one of my top favourites. I'm so thrilled to see it being released now and getting the full Intrada 'treatment'! Thanks Intrada!
