Oooh, I've been waiting for this one. Good show, FSM.

Excellent! Thanks for this!
Interesting to see the Watertower Music logo on the back there... I wonder if the 1500 limit was dictated by Watertower, or if it's just what Lukas thinks this might sell...

Glad to see this. It was a fine little film when it concentrated on the family dynamics of Duvall, Danner, and O'Keefe (all excellent), but suffered from overemphasis on rednecks and racial violence. South Carolina's problems were real and doubtless germane to Pat Conroy's youth, but the movie treatment threw things off balance. The film almost didn't get released. The company didn't know what a treasure they had and was deeply afraid of the title. To be honest, it does sound rather like a circus act or (to New Yorkers) a moving company. For a while it was going to be The Ace, but that didn't communicate much either. The revised main title music provides further evidence of indecision. It sounds as if Bernstein was onto something with his original "mystique" prelude, but evidently somebody wanted more conventional military bluster in his Great Escape manner. In the event, the credits were printed over shots of jet fighters and pilot banter, so there was no chance for subtlety.

I'm not familiar with this score, but I love Elmer's work...this period in particular! Can't wait to discover it. Thanks Lukas & co.
