Oops, I meant to write Gift of the Magi, (and in fact made that correction in my text when I spotted the error on re-reading my essay-in-progress). Please tell me if I'm reading you correctly: The theme in question originated with Newman for THE BLUE BIRD, then was re-used for THIS ABOVE ALL and the finale of LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN. Later, it reappeared in A MAN CALLED PETER. *** I wish I had my copy of O. HENRY's DVD on hand, but it's in storage. If memory serves, that beautiful main title theme is heard only there in the credits and, slightly truncated, in the End Title. Coincidentally, I believe Newman conducted Malcolm Arnold's THE ROOTS OF HEAVEN, another score in which, alas, the extraordinarily beautiful main title theme is only heard in the main titles but not the film proper....

We'll have to put Joe and Jon Burlingame in a Jell-O wrestling ring to determine who the one and only Film Music Expert is. ;-)

Hey Bruce, With today's technology able to bring us about wonderful restorations of scores such as Demetrius, The Egyptian, 12 Mile Reef and others, any chance of the same treatment being applied to scores such as Conrack or Paper Chase, which especially for Conrack it would be nice to see some additional cues get released. And while we're on the subject of Williams at Fox, how about the film tracks of Cinderella Liberty? Actually, that all sounds like it might make a nice set together... Whenever there's an LP release, as in Cinderella, it's not going to be feasible. Otherwise, we're looking at many, many projects.

Bruce, are you close to selling out Demetrius yet? It's on my must buy list but I am playing a bit of financial brinksmanship this week... We have about 150 Demetrius left.

Ask me again when the CD comes out. (I'll try to get your name into the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS section, if there is one.)

Oo, White Feather, 23 Paces To Baker Street, From Hell To Texas, a rerelease of White Witch Doctor & a better sounding Rio Conchos, please.

Well, Intrada rereleased their Rio Conchos recording this past year so it might be wiser to wait on a reissue of the original tracks for at least another year (reverse situation with LLL/Tadlow and The Blue Max). On the other hand, 100 Rifles could use the Kritzerland treatment sound-wise a bit more urgently -- maybe with new technology the complete score in stereo can be rescued, as has happened with some other Golden Age Fox scores in the past few years. Plus there's no competing re-recording. Yavar

Yes it's good to have newly remastered editions of THE ROBE and DEMETRIUS from LLL and Kritzerland respectively. The sound quality on DEMETRIUS is superb.
