The Killers Arrive will always be one of my favorite. No one else would score this sequence like that.

Tremendous!
I must add: I can't adequately express my love for how Intrada provided both the original suite and full soundtrack on the two discs. This is one of those releases where I'm happy throwing on either disc, they're both terrific imo.

--------------------------
What you on about Shaun!!??
Horner scored a scene just like it in MONSTER aka HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP!!!
Nobody would score a sequence like that TODAY! I don't know Humanoids very well, actually!

This is one of the most unintentionally hilarious films ever made. Too bad they didn't cast Olivier and Gregory Peck as the sisters in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane."
lol! I agree Onya, except iirc Shaffner himself said in an interview that the movie was meant to be campy to begin with (I'll see if I can find it).
I'll also add that intentional campiness tends to add to the film's charm imo...however, there's a lot to be said about unintentionally hilarious films (I happen to like quite a few of them myself).
A truly ridiculous but popcorn-enhanced plot, a completely undeserved Oscar nomination for Olivier, who seemed to take a cue from Peck and ham out outrageously throughout the film.
I still watch and enjoy the film though. 7/10 as in "better than good" ("it's wood", sorry kind of obscure reference there).

I greatly enjoy this film, even though it has a couple of (unintentionally) funny scenes. Also, remember the scene where Steve Guttenburg is killed, lays there dead, then blinks? (Hey, I'd pay to see any movie where they kill-off Steve Guttenburg). The Score is MARVELOUS though, isn't it? I've never grown tired of that old A&M Vinyl and then the complete score on c.d.

"one of the pinnacles of his career" -- yeah, and Goldsmith's career had how many dozen pinnacles?

Speaking of concert-worthy, I saw Goldsmith conduct the suite from Boys from Brazil at a concert in Detroit--the first, and still the best, Goldsmith-conducted concert I've ever attended. It was particularly surprising because even by then (around 1993 I think) a lot of Goldsmith's usual concert repertoire was very watered-down arrangements of his more familiar works, so to hear a lengthy, fantastically-performed suite from one of the pinnacles of his career was a huge treat.
I heard this same concert in Denver that same year. Yes, Boys from Brazil was the highlight for the reasons you say.

Oh MAN, wish I'd seen that!
