And one of the first to utilize the Theremin to great effect. Hitchcock's 'Spellbound' was the first soundtrack to feature the Theremin. 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' is a classic Theremin s.f. soundtrack. Morricone's 'Once Upon A Time In The West' is my fave of his stuff, so far. 'Man With A Harmonica' is the sh!t. The film is the sh!t, too: Henry Fonda is one ~bad~ muthafucka: there's no Golden Pond in that wild west. If one gets an opportunity to view that movie on a big screen, do it: the villainous Fonda, in a giant, close-up, screen-fillling headshot, is worth the price of the ticket: his character is a classic movie monster. http://tinyurl.com/kg24 And his character is completely out-of-character, for Henry Fonda. Oscar Sala - The Birds: another great one. seek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
