Johnny Harris did the score. He included two tracks on his brilliant WB LP "Movements." Was there much more music beyond these two tracks?    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 2:58 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Haven't seen it. The music sounds interesting though. According to the record label shown in the third clip below, the first three cuts on the LP are from FRAGMENT OF FEAR. Only Nos. 1 and 3 were released on the 45, however. The additional track runs only a minute.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 3:15 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Thanks Bob. Those tracks are included on the aforementioned "Movements" album by Johnny Harris. I wonder if he re-arranged them to give them a pop sound for the records, and if they may have sounded different in the film.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 3:31 PM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) Has anyone seen this 1970 film? ... I'm pretty certain I saw this during its UK cinema run ... early 1970s ... but I think it must have been as the second feature (remember those days?) David Hemmings was never a star name to attract me/my parents and the subject matter/style sounds very B-movie. I have no idea what film it supported as I used to see so many films at the cinema in those days (more visits to the cinema in a month than in this century). Anyhow: sorry, but other than knowing the film ~ probably seen it I can't offer any comments re: its music ... ... other than it didn't register with me as a film score I wanted to get hold of. Mitch    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 3:31 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) I see that "Movements" just got released as a Super Audio CD (SACD). It's unclear as to whether the release is regular-CD compatible. http://www.amazon.com/Movements-HARRIS-JOHNNY/dp/B010ODP7PA/ref=tmm_acd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1444512001&sr=1-1    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 3:41 PM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) Hmm, this one escaped me. So I'm not sure how much music was in the film itself, but the versions out there of the theme do seem a bit more "poppified" than the already quite poppy groovin' OS. Here are the Main Titles from the film itself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hPD8Napob8 And this is apparently a Roger Webb arrangement - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELesTfsCiA I like these kinds of things - supposedly spooky films with incongruous but interesting - and sometimes quite wild - soundtracks.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 3:45 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I like these kinds of things - supposedly spooky films with incongruous but interesting - and sometimes quite wild - soundtracks. This is precisely how I imagine the 1970s in my mind: Gothic castles inhabited by long-haired youth wearing flared pants and turtlenecks. I guess I've watched to many 1970s Euro cult films!    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 3:51 PM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) I like these kinds of things - supposedly spooky films with incongruous but interesting - and sometimes quite wild - soundtracks.

I actually WAS a teenager in the 1970s, so I lived it. It was exactly like that, except for the Gothic castle. That was a Glasgow tenement, and the music was usually Hamish Imlach. But apart from that, identical.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2015 - 4:04 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) This is precisely how I imagine the 1970s in my mind: Gothic castles inhabited by long-haired youth wearing flared pants and turtlenecks.

Mitch According to my handwritten movie diaries of 1966-1980, if you'd seen the film on its first-run stand-alone presentation this would have been at the West End venue of the Carlton, Haymarket London between September 3 and 30, in 1970. By its the time of its suburban London and national release (8 November 1970), the movie had teamed up to form a double-bill with the George Segal/Eva Marie Saint adult domestic comedy "Loving" directed by Irvin Kershner. "Fragment of Fear" was still the lead picture;owing to continuous performances you might have started the double-bill with the second feature first. I have the London advert for this double-bill, but Photobucket goes SO slow with my software I just have to give up eventually. Any remedies out there,please?

Richie (aka UKGroove) Thank you for the information ... this has been bothering me since I typed the earlier posting (I know: little thing s... little minds) and I know I haven't seen the film Loving to which you refer. Hence, it must be poor recollection on my part and, perhaps, I'm thinking of a TV broadcast. Back in the 1970s the BBC would broadcast a 90' +/- film on a Monday evening after the news ... and I know I watched all and sundry in those days ... maybe then ... I'm just certain that I've seen it. Oh well ... sign of my ageing years. Mitch    Posted:   Oct 12, 2015 - 8:40 AM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) And to think that my childhood only consisted of AIM, reading "old" sci-fi/horror lit, watching "Goosebumps" and making little Youtube movies in my back yard with friends...    Posted:   Oct 13, 2015 - 6:22 AM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) I saw this film on first release at the Odeon, Birmingham in 1970. Haven't watched it since. The theme stood out but I don't think there was too much underscore.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2015 - 8:26 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I watched this film last night. What a gem. I LIVE for films like this. The score consisted mostly of variations (or repetitions) of the three tracks that made it to the "Movements" LP, so I can see why there was not a full release of this score.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2015 - 2:14 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Apparently Columbia Pictures planned to release FRAGMENT OF FEAR in the U.S. soon after its September 1970 British premiere. An MPAA rating was obtained, and advertising was prepared for a Fall 1970 release (see poster above). But that never happened, and instead the film played throughout much of Europe during the ensuing year. Finally, the film had a standalone opening in Los Angeles on 29 September 1971. But most of the U.S. saw the film on the bottom half of a double bill (with a re-release of August 1971's THE BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN) that opened in theaters around the nation in late October 1971.    Posted:   Oct 18, 2015 - 12:57 AM     By:   ukgroove   (Member) Apparently Columbia Pictures planned to release FRAGMENT OF FEAR in the U.S. soon after its September 1970 British premiere.

Many thanks for that. Although I am a prolific 1960s soundtrack collector, by far and away its the advertising design I specialise in and the oddities of layout which poster/newspaper column throw up when different release schedules occur. This one's a beauty! Going on from 'Loving' being the 'authorised' release partner here in UK, The Brotherhood of Satan for us (in January 1972) was the bottom-half of the official double-bill in support of 'Klute' which although a Warner Bros picture was by then part of the stock of the new Columbia-Warner business partnership. I'm still struggling with Photobucket in order to make attachments which members can see. (Hope other members don't mind the apparent digression, but being able to zero-in on actual release dates worldwide can help significantly with further research in a wider variety of publications).    Posted:   Sep 6, 2018 - 4:22 PM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) Has anyone seen this 1970 film? ...

I can say I don't recall seeing it before, though I'm sure I remember seeing the scene where Tim Brett (David Hemmings) is assaulted and given the syringe ... perhaps I saw this during a TV broadcast or as a clip on one of those TV Cinema programmes (such as Film '71) ... Anyhow, I watched it to answer that question ... and won't bother again. As for Johnny Harris' music score ... I think I know why he has never registered with me as a film composer (I'm amazed at the number of his credits showing in IMDb). I assume this is the same person who worked with Shirley Bassey in the early 1970s on several albums, along with Tom Jones, Englebert Humerdinck, Adam Faith, Petula Clark and others (1965-71). I see that one of his recordings in my collection is the 1968 Davy Clinton vocal version of The Girl with the Sun in Her Hair (John Barry/Don Black) ... assuming it is the same Johnny Harris.

Mitch It is the same cat. His "Movements" album is amazing! And I L-U-V "Fragments of Fear!"    Posted:   Sep 6, 2018 - 4:58 PM     By:   villagardens553   (Member) I love that Johnny Harris album, though I didn't know til now that parts of it were from a film score. Love his version of "Paint It Black."     General Discussion: Fragment of Fear - Johnny Harris    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
