An expanded Flight of the Phoenix would be wonderful. I have a lot of nostalgia for this film and score. Will play it senza fine.

John Barry was nominated 6 times. Won 5. 7 times Peter. Don't forget Chaplin.

Hiking to Landscape Arch, in Arches NP back in 1987, I stopped for some water and was approached by a middle-aged couple, he, a little scruffy under a frayed straw hat and sporting Ray-Bans and a generous if slightly scraggy beard. I invited them to share my rock. As soon as they came close I instantly recognised him and said, 'you're Heinrich Dorfmann!', before correcting myself with guffaws all round. 'Are you a film buff', he asked. 'No', I replied 'but Phoenix made a big impression on me aged 16'. He said that the movie was made in the dunes outside Yuma and working on it was a very special time for him. Hardy Kruger, his real name, is according to wikipedia a prolific writer and director of documentaries. He was a proper gentleman and his wife was charming too. I'm hoping the mystery CD is indeed what we are hoping it is....!

I think 'in-the-know' Yavar has confirmed this one. When I’m actually “in the know” on an upcoming title, I keep my mouth shut. This is just my educated guessing putting pieces together, and it wasn’t even my guess to begin with...if this is the correct title Sean Nethery deserves the credit for divination! Yavar

I somehow had never seen or heard "The Flight of the Phoenix," but it sure fits: exciting credit sequence, great music, and Frank De Vol being a multiple Oscar nominee with no wins. Never heard of it? Surely you've seen the ST-Voy ep 'Rise', completely cribbed from 'Flight of the Phoenix'. Another truly great Tuvok/Neelix ep. Lol, sort of an obscure reference. If you're talking about the plot (not the music), ST:OS "Galileo 7" is a better match. What do you mean 'Galileo 7'?- 'Rise' even has Neelix say he used to build space elevators before admitting they were only model/toy space elevators. Frank DeVol's FOTPh was already released. Is it incomplete?

Yes the FSM is incomplete. There was only so much room left on the disc and Flight of the Phoenix was the “filler” companion score for Patton, which FSM did release complete. I’m not sure how much music is missing but I’m sure Doug knows, whether or not Intrada’s release is this. Yavar
