What a great idea, Manderley! I remember enjoying that movie as a kid (and I guess as a young teen too because I remember recalling Janet Leigh was damn hot). It's one of the films my father recorded onto VHS tape when I was a baby. I keep forgetting about the few films Webb did outside of RKO -- and I shouldn't, as tapes are more likely to exist!
I'd buy Houdini if released, but Bruce, if you release a Sinbad the Sailor album somehow I'll buy THREE copies!

Well, we know Bruce the K has already said he has Newman's THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY in the offing...
I'd also love to see a complete NEVADA SMITH wend its way to us...
Not to mention complete releases of Waxman's SAYONARA, THE NUN'S STORY, and THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS...
(All of which were from Paramount, by the way.)
Although, to be honest, whatever Bruce releases, I'll probably be buying it...
(BTW: is there any possibility of real soundtrack releases for either THE COURT JESTER, or ARTISTS AND MODELS? JESTER had a 10-inch at the time of Kaye singing the songs, much in the manner of the 10-inch HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, but there were never bona fide soundtrack recordings of either. And I'd also LOVE to get music tracks from both GULLIVER'S TRAVELS and HOPPITY GOES TO TOWN. But those 2, I'm sure, will probably linger in the pipe-dream category for years to come, no doubt...)

I might as well jump in here and say that NUN'S STORY and SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS are in the Warner Bros. library, not Paramount, and SAYONARA, which WAS once in the Warners library, was an independently produced film later released on video by Goldwyn/MGM Entertainment.
At this moment, I'm not quite sure where SAYONARA resides, but, in any case, I'd assume the stereo music masters are long gone.

I'm with John here and would love ARTISTS AND MODELS (if Bruce could clear the Martin songs---Capitol?) and also LIVING IT UP, which is the film version of Broadway's HAZEL FLAGG, which was in turn the stage version of Selznick's NOTHING SACRED.
There are so many things yet in the Paramount library to wish for!!! (I wonder what Hugo Friedhofer's score for THUNDER IN THE EAST sounds like today. I haven't seen that film for at least 60 years! Hugo's score for ACE IN THE HOLE/THE BIG CARNIVAL would be of interest, and I'd even like to hear, in conjunction with the Bing Crosby-Jane Wyman songs, his score for JUST FOR YOU.)

Um, John....Sayonara, Spirit of St. Louis and The Nun's Story...are Warner Brothers films.
Actually, Sayonara's ownership is all over the place - and believe me I tried licensing it from who I HOPED owned it. MGM actually owns the cable and video rights (which is why you see it on MGM-HD) but sadly they don't own the music rights - what a shame that is.

What do you want from me? Coherence?
Oh well.

I'm going to throw my hat into the Kritzerland Ring and request the beautiful score by Victor Young, 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. I rented this from Netflix a few months ago and never noticed that there was an Entr'Acte at the midway point. I think the studio did a great job at this dvd release as the picture was gorgeous. Young's music was exciting as well as softly romantic with guitars and strings. The photo here says Universal in the lower corner, and I could be wrong but I seem to recall The Paramount logo at the begining of the film. In which case....
