  General Discussion: Rare GE THEATER Jerry Goldsmith scored episode!   Last Post

Always fun to stumble upon unheard Jerry Goldsmith music.

Here,

A Jerry Goldsmith scored episode from 1961 GE THEATER

"THE LEGEND THAT WALKS LIKE A MAN"

This Movie Lot story concerns Ernest Borgnine as Matty Moran, a temperamental has-been movie director trying to make a comeback and his Diva leading lady Zsa Zsa Gabor. Also starring William Schallert as the 1st Assistant Director.

With a "lighter" take, Goldsmith's fun, more comedic style score contains a lot of the "Circus like" elements he would later employ in scores for TAKE HER, SHE'S MINE and THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS.

Here's the Finale and End Credit music for the Episode:

And here's the whole show:

Enjoy!

Nice One, Zoob! Right through Jerry's "End Credits" music.

How in blazes did you ever come across this minor gem?

Hey Ron,

Happy Holidays!


Every once in a while, I'll just "google"

"Playhouse 90 Jerry Goldsmith"

or "Climax Jerry Goldsmith"

and today when I googled

"GE Theater Jerry Goldsmith"

this cool little puppy came up!

Hope to find a bunch of the Goldsmith PLAYHOUSE 90's

like "MADE IN JAPAN" and all his others one day.




So exciting to still think that so many of his treasures are still to be discovered and enjoyed

in this day and age of movie and TV music and their composers,

to be honest,

that rarely gather my interest

aside from

let's say a John Williams, James Horner or Danny Elfman offering that is.

Thanks, I'm particularly fond of early Goldsmith.

Also that gushing Ronald Reagan centenary tribute stuff had me peeing in my pants.

Can you believe that he and Bernard Herrmann were born the same year?
What kind of president would Benny have made?

That piano in the end credits presages the use in "The General With The Cockeyed Id". Thanks for unearthing this lost treasure, because compiling television episode credits of film composers can be very difficult.

But did you also know that Herrmann despised Reagan's politics?

Another reason to love Herrmann.

Did anyone grab a copy of this for themselves when it up? We would love to cover it on The Goldsmith Odyssey if possible, but zooba sadly doesn't have it...
