I agree with you Zelig. But you didn't even mention the man who's made you happy - Marvin Hamlisch.
I can't recall when The Swimmer was released theatrically, I think 1969. I never got around to seeing the film until it came out on dvd..a long, long time afterwards. I feel that the film of 'The Swimmer' is very much a film of it's time and yet, seemed somewhat ahead of it's time as well. Dark - but brilliant stuff!

agreed- another lp that i got at the PRINCETON RECORD EXCHANGE, played it to death then, now we have the cd, so i do the same with that, never get tired of it, but i did do a double take when i first bought the lp, could not believe the name of the composer. in short, what's not to like ? kim hunter told me when they finally finished the shoot they threw burt lancaster in the pool, clothes and all.

I caught The Swimmer on The Late Show in the early 1970s and thought it absolutely fantastic. I acquired a 16mm IB Tech print soon thereafter and ran it for people at every opportunity. I had the LP from the day it was released and I loved the music. It was orchestrated by longtime Elmer guys Shuken and Hayes. I believe the thirty-five minutes is every note of score from the film. The cast is perfection and the film is just hypnotic and strange and unique. Someday I'd love to see the original scene that was cut from the film - with Barbara Loden in the Janice Rule scene. The latter, while an excellent scene, isn't directed in the style or feel of the rest of the film - in fact, it wasn't directed by Frank Perry at all, but by Sidney Pollack.

Nice find indeed - to put it mildly. Thank you!! What a great supplement this would make for a SWIMMER dvd that should also include the original out-take footage.
