TAXI DRIVER  (CD)
Composed by: Bernard Herrmann

Remastered Expanded Editon

In Martin Scorsese's classic 1970s drama, insomniac ex-Marine Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) works the nightshift, driving his cab throughout decaying mid-'70s New York City, wishing for a "real rain" to wash the "scum" off the neon-lit streets. Chronically alone, Travis cannot connect with anyone, not even with such other cabbies as blowhard Wizard (Peter Boyle). He becomes infatuated with vapid blonde presidential campaign worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), who agrees to a date and then spurns Travis when he cluelessly takes her to a porno movie. After an encounter with a malevolent fare (played by Scorsese), the increasingly paranoid Travis begins to condition (and arm) himself for his imagined destiny, a mission that mutates from assassinating Betsy's candidate Charles Palatine to violently "saving" teen hooker Iris (Jodie Foster) from her pimp Sport (Harvey Keitel). Travis's bloodbath turns him into a media hero; but has it truly calmed his mind? Punctuated by Bernard Herrmann's eerie final score (finished the day he died), Scorsese presents a Manhattan skewed through Travis's point-of-view, where De Niro's now-famous "You talkin' to me" improv becomes one more sign of Travis's madness. "Taxi Driver" went on to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but it lost the Best Picture Oscar to "Rocky." 1976
