Thanks for that, mrmike. Great to see Lalo Schifrin on pretty good form after his frail appearance in recent years. He's also comedy gold, especially when he seems to forget what he's going to say and pauses, asking, "So, any questions?" Eastwood's quite heartwarming too.

I'm not that bothered about awards in general, but Lalo seemed to appreciate getting it, so good for him. About bloody time too. Wonderful composer and a gentleman.

Bravo Lalo! You are in great company, only Alex North and Ennio Morricone have won such an honor. I deem this award higher than any normal best score Oscar.

Superb news, overdue but great that Lalo gets his recognition.

Schifrin, who's last major score was for RUSH HOUR 3 in 2007, is a voice who is greatly missed in today's movie landscape.

Indeed, shame he wasn't presented the award at the ceremony.

Ha, ha...great video. Still has his wit. Love the bit towards the end where Clint asks him to read the prompter, and he says "Applause". big grin

Clint looks in good shape for 88.

Lalo Schifrin finally getting an Oscar. I guess I can now throw out all those Christopher Hitchens books and go back to church.

The year Schifrin lost for Cool Hand Luke was a tough one. That year, arguably and in my opinion, Schifrin, Quincy Jones, and Richard Rodney Bennett were all nominated for their best film scores: Cool Hand Luke, In Cold Blood, and Far From the Madding Crowd. Bernstein won for one of his lesser scores, and the fifth nominee was Leslie Bricusse for Doctor Dolittle.

To get the complete Entr'Acte LP on CD, you need to buy two Label X CDS: (1) "The Four Musketeers" [LXCD 5 ] and (2) "Continuum Journeys Voyage" [LXCD 11]. Even at that, you only have the 30 released minutes of what was surely a longer score for this 155-minute film. If the full score exists, it is probably with ITC somewhere.

I've just watched the two uploads on YT again (I didn't realise there were two until now). Clint and Lalo are a great double act. Apart from the bit I mentioned yesterday (Lalo seemingly getting lost and forgetting what he was going to say next, then asking, "So, any questions?"), I love the bit when Eastwood's speaking about Don Siegel and says to Lalo, "He loved you, and I love you", and Lalo responds, "Yes, I love him too". Then the "immoral jazz" banter. Oh yeah, and in that difficult lull in the conversation (it did look a bit like two doddery old men just for a minute) Lalo says, "Well, it's nice talking to you".

Brilliant, lovely, and I don't even think Schifrin was trying to be funny. Genius composer, great mind, great man.
