Perseverance is proud to reissue the soundtrack to the 1963 Sidney Poitier film, Lilies Of The Field. This movie is still seen by many as a milestone in cinema. The film launched Sidney Poitier and earned him an Oscar and Golden Globe for his portrayal of handyman Homer Smith, the first time an African-American actor had ever won a major award for Best Actor. The film was a landmark in cinema and needed a composer who could convey the film with a down to earth, rural, folksy sound. Jerry Goldsmith created a score that was both jubilant and accessible for anybody to listen to.

Some facts about this recording:

• Sony had this remastered for us. It's in mono (it's a 1963 film) but it sounds excellent.
• Limited to 3,000 CDs.
• This is a straight reissue of the original album.
• Original LP cover art.
• Reasonably priced CD.
