On The Day The Earth Stood Still thread Bruce just said:

"There will be one more soundtrack announcement and with it there may or may not be a musical theater-related announcement.

So, here's an opening clew: A beloved film, but not from the Golden Age"

I certainly haven't got a clew as to what it/they might be?

It is Kenyon Hopkins' "The Hustler" expanded.

A "beloved" film often means something with an animal in it.

Is there a pet dog or horse playing a prominent part in this?

ROCKY? There is the ROCKY musical out there. And it is a beloved film. However Kritzerland has never released a Conti unfortunatelly.

As I am apparently one of the few holdouts mourning as proper use of the English language fades further into abuse and oblivion, I can't stop myself from mentioning that "clue" is misspelled above. Yes, it makes me a stick in the mud, but I happen to love the written word and abhor its steady decline.

Um, no. If "clew" was good enough for Dame Agatha Christie and Edgar Allen Poe and many Brits, it's good enough for this board. It is obviously a variant spelling NOW, but was the most used spelling up until about 1940, and that includes American newspapers prior to that. I began using it here because of my love of Dame Agatha and it has caught on quite splendidly.

First film I thought of was ON GOLDEN POND.... But that's probably because I was just listening to some tracks from one of Dave Grusin's live albums on YouTube. I'd forgotten how beautiful that main theme is....I remember reading somewhere that Alex North wished he'd written that score, which is pretty darn cool.

Anyway, definitely a "beloved", non-golden age film..

Speaking of proper use of the English language, I just realized I spelled unfortunately above with two l's.wink

And, having obtained an English Hons. (2.1) Degree at the College founded by Cardinal John Henry Newman in Dublin in 1854, attended among others by James Joyce, in which a large portion of that said Degree contained studies in Old and Middle English I am quite content to follow in your footsteps Bruce, so please lead on! Lord save us fom the clueless indeed!

When will this release (or these) be announced (or did I somehow skim over it)?

Although MY BODYGUARD is my #1 holy grail, I'd buy ON GOLDEN POND in a heartbeat. I remember going to see it with my mom and my aunts. I had just gotten a little portable typewriter and I wrote up this little pre-review (while knowing absolutely NOTHING about the film) in the car on the way there. It was one of my first memories of going to the theater to see a "serious" film. I really enjoyed the movie. About a year ago, I was listening to the {unmentionable} rip of the vinyl LP while loading the dishwasher one night. My son (5 or 6 at the time) would CRACK UP every time he heard one of the bird noises. So now I have THAT memory! LOL. I would prefer a score without said bird noises and dialogue, but I would probably keep that version around just for that memory.

Great to hear from another fan of My Bodyguard...I actually just listed that score as one of my three "holy grail" scores in the recent thread asking FSMers for their holy grails. It's a great score by Grusin, sadly Bruce of Kritzerland has said in previous threads the masters are missing...here's hoping they turn up labelled incorrectly or something. Completely agree that whatever release may happen with On Golden Pond they forego the dialogue intrusions, but something tells me any of our beloved labels would have the foresight to make any forthcoming release score only.

P.S. Add your #1 pick to the holy grail thread...just in case anyone's listening and a more intensive search for lost masters ensues big grin

My Bodyguard is a grail for me as well. Hopefully the missing tapes will be located someday.

Hey Great Escape,

I hope things are going good for you. Actually, that's my pet language peeve, people using "good" instead of "well." Even the news media do that, these days.
