And did APJAC stand for: Arthur/ P. /Jacobs /And /Company?


You can pick your 3 top fave soundtracks from an APJAC Film.

For Soundtracks I'd go for:

BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES FSM Version with Film Tracks and Original Album.

TOM SAWYER The Quartet Release with extras.

GOODBYE MR. CHIPS - The Deluxe FSM.

Since the full name of the company was APJAC Productions, Inc., my guess is that the APJAC part just stood for Arthur P JACobs. Otherwise the title becomes the unwieldy Arthur P. Jacobs and Company Productions, Inc.

My three would be:
  • Planet of the Apes
  • Tom Sawyer
  • Play It Again, Sam

    Thanks Bob. Now, all that's missing is one of your awesome poster art sharings that you post so wonderfully! Appreciate and always love that stuff! Thanks so much!

    Obviously, for me, PLANET OF THE APES....

    Then THE CHAIRMAN.... Amazing that such a mediocre film inspired Goldsmith to create such an excellent score.

    Then, I'd have to say DOCTOR DOLITTLE. Yeah, the film is a dud, but some of the songs are quite loverly.

    Damn shame APJAC didn't live longer to produce more.

    All right, I'll play --not that anyone cares, but.....

    First and foremost, I'd have to go with DOCTOR DOLITTLE. Knock the film all you want (and I won't, because I've never understood all the negativity that's thrown its way, even if it is far from great), but the Leslie Bricusse score remains one of my favorites. Every single song.... And I'm glad to have the separate interpretations of the score by the likes of Sammy Davis Jr., Bobby Darin, and Anthony Newley. Especially that rare and wonderful jazz album by Gordon Beck.

    Then, of course, there's Goldsmith's PLANET OF THE APES. On that subject there's nothing left to be said, except that it's brilliant.

    And then, there's GOODBYE,MR. CHIPS. I'm glad that the wonderful FSM CD set brought it back into the sun after years of languishing under the grey clouds of failure, as I believe that it's another underrated Bricusse effort. And all the things that John Williams does with it in his scoring... Just listen to the overture. Magnificent.

    Never has a line up been that simple to choose from: "Beneath the planet of the apes" because never before or after was the music of Leonard Rosenman so perfectly fit for a film, and rarely was a sequel so fulfillingly everthing I wanted out of a sequel and was a film so in tune with what I look for in an exponent from an era.

    D.S.

    Planet of Apes
    Beneath the Planet of the Apes
    Escape from the Planet of the Apes

    Honorable mention The Chairman

    I'm embarrassed to admit hadn't seen enough apjac movies to know they produced anything else other than ape films. Thought apjac was pun on apes. Apjac as producer of Ape films drilled in by silent credits in four of five films with apjac last thing see.

    I find parts of Roseman's music from FANTASTIC VOYAGE, COUNTDOWN, BENEATH THE... and BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, RACE WITH THE DEVIL, and many others, so indistinguishable from each other as to be completely interchangeable.

    BENEATH's score is my least favorite of all APJAC scores.

    I'm a little ashamed I don't know GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS better.

    Doctor DOLITTLE. The songs and scoring are fantaztic. The old lp soundtrack did not do it justice. Goodbye Mr chips and Tom sawyer are also excellent.
