I had posted this in the past. My sister went to a SOMEWHERE IN TIME gathering where they filmed it some years ago and was lucky to get director Szwarcz to talk to her about film composers he worked with. She filmed it for me.

Cool! Thanks for sharing, zooba.

Szwarcz has always been a fascinating director to me. He didn't do a lot of feature films (not known ones, at least), but he got to work with some of the biggest composers in the industry.

Also, he never got to be an 'auteur', but has continued steady work as a craftsman (especially in genre fare) since the 60s and untill today.

Lets see: JAWS 2, SOMEWHERE IN TIME and SUPERGIRL, cult films and composed by brilliant composers: John Williams, John Barry and Jerry Goldsmith! We never had it better? Right?

And Henry Mancini's SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE.

Never really been a fan of the Mancini and the Goldsmith, but I love JAWS 2 and although I'm no big Barry fan, SOMEWHERE IN TIME I enjoy very much.

Those are Szwarcz's "biggest hits", though. He never did anything else that was particularly famous (although he also worked with Basil Poledouris on the obscure 1973 film EXTREME CLOSE-UP [not to be confused with the Horner-scored film]). But I'm impressed that he -- as a 70-year-something craftsman -- has managed to keep working with big TV shows like FRINGE, SUPERNATURAL, HEROES, SMALLVILLE. That he's managed to stay "with it", so to speak.

Santa Claus The Movie is superb Mancini, probably his best.

My favorite score from a Szwarcz movie is Mark Shreeve's Honor Bound from 1988. I guess he doesn't talk about that one.
