Just wanna say that the Picnic score is sublime. Duning was a master, one of the underrated dudes who never seemed to get a break, and yet he worked with all the great NY jazzers, Teo Macero, Buddy Collette, can't get no cooler than those dudes man, they knew how to blow. And that descending Fender snippet is classic cool man, bc it uses that Gershwin thing done by Paul Smith in the early Disneys, man that's great stuff.
I do miss lexedo. Just reading his old posts I find myself mumblin' like Marlon Brando, and I coulda been somethin' man.
lexedo buddy, seriously - You still on the road? Bin a long time pardner, feel like shootin' some Fielding source cues?

This is me. PICNIC is great, and George Duning too.

During was a much underrated craftsman. Worked mostly at Columbia. A number of his scores were released on lp, and a lot of those later made it to CD. Among my favorites are:
BELL BOOK AND CANDLE
THE DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK
THE WORLD OF SUZIE WONG
SALOME
SALOME was his contribution to the ancient-world trend in the 50's. An overwrought re-write of history, it didn't compare to more overwhelming efforts from Fox and MGM, but the score is quite good. I'd love to get the complete tracks at some point. (There was a 10" lp, which had some music, but a lot of intrusive dialogue. Remember, folks, this is the movie where Rita Hayworth as Salome converts to being a follower of Jesus, and dances to SAVE John the Baptist! Yeah, that's the plot...) But it's a very good score just the same.
