Simultaneously introspective, joyous, pensive, softly and subtly sensitive that encompasses and enhances the film’s conflicted triangle of love, loyalty, friend- ship, competition, betrayal and transcending all that happens with all that truly Matters, Mr. Grusin’s evocative music-scape is a sheer delight whose luster hasn’t dimmed but only increased (in fact, it can be arguably used as an influential ancestor of later efforts, especially the vibrant California Montage cue that’s a virtuous cousin to “On Golden Pond”’s jubilant New Hampshire Hornpipe sequence). Twas all aces then, and no less luminously so now …    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 9:53 AM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) You'd have thought this one would be a cert for a CD release. Gorgeous music for Paul Newman 60s movie    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 9:58 AM     By:   Smitty   (Member) I've been waiting patiently for Intrada to work on this one. That patience is wearing a bit thin, though.    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 10:03 AM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) I have strong memories of seeing this film in a theater. It was the first time I ever saw Richard Thomas in a film. The scenes he had with Paul Newman were wonderful, especially the one where Newman gets him a bit tipsy on beer. The soundtrack is an evocative souvenir of that film whose embarrassment of riches including strong performances from Newman, Joanne Woodward, Robert Wagner and Thomas. It's one of the few Grusin scores I truly admire.    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 10:35 AM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) double post    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 10:36 AM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) No wonder he made such an impression, Ron - wotta first role, no?    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 10:37 AM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member)    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 10:42 AM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) No wonder he made such an impression, Ron - wotta first role, no? You got that reet! The next time I saw him was in "Red Sky At Morning". I was certain he would have a fine career, and he did!    Posted:   Oct 3, 2014 - 11:33 AM     By:   Zooba   (Member) Great stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUJ8YopI3yc    Posted:   Oct 17, 2014 - 11:28 AM     By:   Zaku   (Member) After reading this thread I went to seek out this movie and finally saw it last night. Beautiful music! I'd buy a release of the music in a heart beat. Could Kritzerland maybe be working on this one? They've don Grusin in the past. Either way what a great composer, I still need to discover much of his music.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2014 - 1:19 PM     By:   Bond1965   (Member) After reading this thread I went to seek out this movie and finally saw it last night.

Your best bet is going to be Intrada...someday.
