Composed by: Bernard Herrmann

William Stromberg conducts the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. Score restoration by John Morgan, Anna Bonn and William Stromberg. Deluxe 32 page booklet.

In a future totalitarian and oppressive society, where books are forbidden, Guy Montag (Oskar Werner) is a fireman. The mission of firemen in this society with fireproof houses is to burn books at 451 Fahrenheit, the temperature of combustion of paper. Montag is married with Linda (Julie Christie), a futile woman that joins 'The Family' through the interactive television. When Montag meets Clarisse (Julie Christie, in a double role), she questions him if he has never read a book, and Montag becomes curious. He decides to steal and read a book, twisting his view of life. He leaves his former way of life and escapes to 'the city of the books' with Clarisse.

TWILIGHT ZONE: WALKING DISTANCE (1959). Martin Sloan (Gig Young), a 36-year-old executive, stops in a fuel station. He's very confused, behaves in a strange way and makes a lot of noise to get the attention from the employee. Far away is the sight of his native town, Homewood, and he's very curious about all the kinds of things that shaped his childhood. Martin adventures to take a closer look, and first he goes to an old shop where he used to get a large-sized ice cream. Martin gets surprised to see that the old attendant still runs the place, with old prices. Walking in the streets, Martin meets with a kid, who is his old neighbor. It is then that he finds he's in 1934, when he was only 15-years-old. Things get complicated when he bumps into the young Martin, follows him to his house and meets with his parents. They won't believe him when Martin says he's in fact their grown up son. Later, Martin insists in talking with young Martin. He finds him in a carousel, where the child gets hurt after falling from there and subsequently has a talk with his father. Martin will learn that every man has his own time and is perhaps better off not looking to the past.

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 07:46:39 EST

$19.95

Composed by: Bernard Herrmann

William Stromberg conducts the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. Score restoration by John Morgan, Anna Bonn and William Stromberg. Deluxe 32 page booklet.

Mysterious Island (UK: Jules Verne's Mysterious Island) was released in 1961 by Morningside Productions. Based upon the book The Mysterious Island (L'Île mystérieuse) by Jules Verne, it was produced by Charles Schneer and Ray Harryhausen. Directed by Cy Endfield, the film was released through Columbia Pictures. It was filmed in Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, England using SuperDynamation, which was a showcase for Harryhausen's animation effects. Like several of Harryhausen's classic productions, the soundtrack was provided by Bernard Herrmann.

The film centers around escaping Union soldiers from a Confederate prison camp during the American Civil War in a hot air balloon. They end up crashing in the ocean, only to find themselves washed up on an unknown island where gigantic animals abound. It would later be revealed that the animals were experiments of the presumed-dead Captain Nemo, who is an unknown benefactor to the castaways as they struggle to survive on the island. After a skirmish with pirates, the stranded group manages to escape from the island on the pirate's ship.

The highlights of the film were Ray Harryhausen's animation sequences. The different animated 'monsters' that the castaways encountered were: a giant crab, a giant flightless bird (a prehistoric bird called a Phorusrhacos) which most viewers thought was a chicken, giant bees and a giant cephalopod called a Chambered Nautiloid.

WAY OF A GAUCHO

Thu, 26 May 2022 10:45:56 EST

$19.95

Composed by: Sol Kaplan

Once again, Counterpoint mines the rich musical archives of Twentieth Century-Fox to unearth a dramatic, romantic gem by Sol Kaplan. WAY OF A GAUCHO (1952) is a story that blends elements of the American West with the wild and untamed scenery of the Argentinian pampas. Filmed partially on location in Argentina, the picture stars Rory Calhoun as a young freedom-loving gaucho who finds himself out of step with encroaching central government and civilization. Gene Tierney appears as his love interest; Richard Boone, recently returned from Australia where he filmed the Kaplan-scored KANGAROO (Counterpoint CPT-1005), plays the army major who is determined to bring Calhoun�s outlaw character to justice.

As with KANGAROO, Kaplan�s score is conducted with fire and passion by legendary Fox music head Alfred Newman. The music bears traces of Newman�s influence but it also stands very much on its own as a unique blend of original Kaplan and authentic Argentinian music. To ensure that the film not only looked but also sounded authentic, the filmmakers chose Argentinian folk artist Felix Dardo Palorma, a guitarist, singer, recording artist and composer, to contribute an original song as well as several source pieces. Kaplan seized on this native material and integrated it so well into his score that it is sometimes difficult to know where Buenos Aires ends and Hollywood begins. From the exciting main title that sets the heart racing to the poignant love theme that makes it melt, Kaplan�s music runs the gamut of emotions that make WAY OF A GAUCHO a delicious example of old-fashioned filmmaking.

This premiere release of WAY OF A GAUCHO is complete and includes all the source music plus some cues that were not featured in the film. CD Producer Mike Matessino mastered the fine-sounding monaural audio from optical material that Fox transferred to ¼? tape in the 1980s. The 24-page booklet, designed by Jim Titus, offsets detailed notes on music and film by Frank K. DeWald with posters, film stills, publicity material and much more. Project produced by Nick Redman and Craig Spaulding. -COUNTERPOINT

LAST TRAIN FROM GUN HILL

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 12:49:03 EST

$19.95

Composed by: Dimitri Tiomkin

Last Train From Gun Hill (1959) reunited several filmmakers from one of the western genre�s most celebrated classics, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957): producer Hal Wallis, director John Sturges, cinematographer Charles Lang Jr., actor Kirk Douglas and composer Dimitri Tiomkin. Douglas plays Marshal Matt Morgan, whose wife is raped and killed by the son of an old friend, cattle baron Craig Belden (Anthony Quinn). Morgan�s attempt to bring the murderer to justice is the focus of the action, and Carolyn Jones as Belden�s abused mistress adds another dimension to the human drama. Tiomkin�s score�largely based on an unused song�is colorful and melodic in the composer�s trademark western style.

This premiere release of Last Train From Gun Hill is newly remastered from 35mm three-track stereo music masters supplemented by cues from the film�s finished monaural music stem, given a light stereo ambiance to enhance listenability. Bonus cues include source music, alternates, and a demo version of Tiomkin�s song (with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster) performed by jazz vocalist Kitty White. Frank K. DeWald�s notes on the production and score are illustrated with numerous film stills selected by designer Jim Titus.
