Does the cover on the CD also switch from one to another like in Intrada's post ? smile

Concerning the STUNT MAN I would highly recommend it.

It was orchestrated by Jack Hayes and the main theme is really catchy.

And now that I think of it, THERE IS a relationship to Masada, but it's barely unnoticeable. I would have never noticed it myself because, as Sigerson said, it is more a comical theme. To me it always was some kind of circus march.

Also great is the vocal version of the second theme, sung by Dusty Springfield. I would love to have the complete lyrics. "What good are your dreams in a world where nothing is what it seems ?"

Two first's from Intrada, the first release from the Fox catalogue owned by UMG, & the first two titles on one disc from UMG. All good news.

Is it for an economical reason that almost all of the 2-LPs-on-1-CD releases from FSM and Intrada contain scores by 2 different composers, sometimes more and sometimes less related ?

My guess is these are not big money makers, (have any of these sold out?) so you pick two, from the same label, that gives you the bigger combined fan potential. Just my guess.

Being the anal retentive person that I am, I'd have paired Bill Conti's AN UNMARRIED WOMAN with his score for the other Paul Mazursky film, HARRY AND TONTO which was released on LP on Casablanca according to soundtrackcollector.com.

I understand these things are worked out according to what can be negotiated and I'm not complaining. I'm still very happy to have 2 scores on CD that I'd only had on poor sounding LPs.

I've always loved The Umarried Woman's theme. Kind of like A Little Romance and My Bodyguard from that same time period. It has a classical, bustling city sound to it. I'm trying to come up with a term for those types of scores from the late 1970s-early 1980s... Love it.

It's impossible to find a decent copy of
"Harry & Tonto".
I've purchased 15 copies (sealed and used) over the years and they all sound terrible.
Beautiful low key piano score, but the guy making popcorn in the background needs to go. wink

So does all the dialogue. Next to "Sleuth" and "Equus", most in need of a dialog exorcism.

Nothing against Art Carney, just buy the movie.

interesting releases, indeed

and just wondering... how's that Intrada guys put much more soundtrack info (about the movie, about the album, musical style, cue description, etc) here in the forums that in their own purchasing page at INTRADA.COM, where the clips are and the "add to basket" is ? I always found it odd. smile

Awesome release.
I love the film and Frontiere's score.
Thanks Intrada!

Who's diggin' "The Stunt Man", eh, eh, eh? Love it! Awesome score that I've wanted for years. And it's possessed. It won't stop playing itself in my CD player.

Thanks, Intrada!

I got this in the mail today. Im still chewing on it (though I immedeately got into the Conti stuff) but I usually find Frontiere's material dense yet incredibly rewarding, not unlike Alex North.

Also great is the vocal version of the second theme, sung by Dusty Springfield. I would love to have the complete lyrics. "What good are your dreams in a world where nothing is what it seems ?"

There wasn't room for these in the booklet, but your wish is my command! I'll throw in the lyrics for "An Unmarried Woman" as well, although the Gimbel-penned lyrics for The Stunt Man's "Bits & Pieces" are the real gem, IMO. (These are just my own transcriptions, BTW, so any errors are entirely mine.)

-------------------------------------------------

"Bits And Pieces"
Music by Dominic Frontiere
Lyrics by Norman Gimbel


Out of nowhere into sight
Out of darkness into light
You come running, pushing time
Out of reason, out of rhyme
Bits and pieces of your past
Cling like shadows to your heels
And your heart is learning fast
How it feels

With your secrets in your eyes
And your feelings in disguise
You come running in your fright
Seeking shelter from the night
And you search each passing face
For a sign someone could care
But they rush back in their race
To nowhere


CHORUS:

And you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colors splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny

And you look for someone your arms can hold
Who will let you tell what begs to be told
And you ask yourself, what good are your dreams
In a world where nothing is what it seems


Bits and pieces of your past
Chill your soul like winter rain
But the time will come at last
When a love will ease your pain
If you let me, I will try
If you love me, I'll be near
If you let me, when you cry
I will hear


REPEAT CHORUS (2x)

-------------------------------------------------

"An Unmarried Woman"
Music by Bill Conti
Lyrics by Michelle Wiley


I'm off and running now
Back in the race somehow
Living the single life
Not as man and wife
Searching for something new
That's what I'm gonna do

This lady's unattached
Not looking for a match
I live too comfortably
In conformity
But changes start to show
Unmarried women know

You've got to stand alone
Make choices of your own
Forget that wedding gown
Don't let 'em put you down
Get out and dance and sing
See what tomorrow brings
Baby, spread your wings

I'm off and running now
Back in the race somehow
My heart will have to mend
I'll begin again
I'll change my point of view
That's what I'm gonna do

'Cause you've got to stand alone
Make choices of your own
Forget that wedding gown
Don't let 'em put you down
Get out and dance and sing
See what tomorrow brings
Baby, spread your wings
Now...

I'm gonna make it now
(Unmarried women can)
Gonna make it
(Unmarried women can)

ETC.

No, I really hadn't. I'm not that... retent- er, attentive.

I recently traded for a used copy of this and noticed that on The Stuntman the End Title is track 5, the Main Title is track 10, and the "Main Theme" is track 8! I don't suppose anyone has figured out a chronological order for this LP program?

Years ago I rearranged The Stunt Man into chronological order in my iTunes library. I based it on sequencing someone else had shared. It may have been posted here, but I don’t remember. Regardless of providence, here it is:

The Stunt Man – Main Title
The Chase
Bits & Pieces
Crane
Training
The Stunt Man – Main Theme
Bedroom Horns
Southern Belle
Film Caravan
The Stunt Man – End Title


I’m nearly stupefied realizing this CD is nearly a decade old now.

The Stuntman was a wonderful film and score. I don't play it nearly enough. Time to rectify that. This is why I love bumping of old threads.
