Overture?     1 2    NEXT   LAST   Last Post   Posted:   Jan 13, 2012 - 4:37 AM     By:   mulan98   (Member) Anyone know if the lovely Overture, which features on the Varise Soundtrack double bill (with Hans Christian Anderson) was used in the movies' original theatrical engagements? Or if it features on any DVD releases. This would make a great Blu Ray incidentally.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2012 - 5:50 AM     By:   Dimifan   (Member) The DVD I´ve purchased approx. 3 years ago here in Germany does not have the Overture. It starts immediately with the title song by Danny Kaye over the opening credits.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2012 - 7:39 AM     By:   John B. Archibald   (Member) I remember seeing the film in theatres several times in its original release, and the (albeit local) theatres where I saw it did not present any kind of overture...    Posted:   Jan 13, 2012 - 5:47 PM     By:   CH-CD   (Member) I'm sure that the Overture was added to the album simply to make up the tracks to 10. It has a smaller orchestra and sounds totally different to the movie itself. Gordon Jenkins is credited for it on the album, but Victor Schoen scored the movie itself. The underscore of the movie is lovely and I would dearly love to have the complete soundtrack score on CD.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2012 - 11:22 PM     By:   Sigerson Holmes   (Member) The underscore of the movie is lovely and I would dearly love to have the complete soundtrack score on CD. What say ye, Kritzerland?    Posted:   Jan 13, 2012 - 11:26 PM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) The underscore of the movie is lovely and I would dearly love to have the complete soundtrack score on CD. What say ye, Kritzerland? In a heartbeat, of course. I did the album reissue at Varese. It was my favorite childhood movie - I must have seen it ten times on its original release.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2012 - 12:37 AM     By:   Score Whore   (Member) The songs and score for this film have been a holy grail for me for decades. Please someone tackle it. This film has a cult following and a score and song release would be cherished by the film's fans.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2012 - 1:15 AM     By:   Sigerson Holmes   (Member) Would you say there's 1,000 such fans or more like 1,200?    Posted:   Jan 14, 2012 - 2:50 AM     By:   .   (Member) Would you say there's 1,000 such fans or more like 1,200? I doubt they'd sell so many, seeing as our specialist labels have waited until 85% of the potential audience has died of old age and the remainder suffer varying magnitudes of deafness.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2012 - 7:32 AM     By:   John B. Archibald   (Member) The underscore of the movie is lovely and I would dearly love to have the complete soundtrack score on CD. What say ye, Kritzerland? In a heartbeat, of course. I did the album reissue at Varese. It was my favorite childhood movie - I must have seen it ten times on its original release. I saw this a lot, too. Oddly enough, my favorite moment was when everyone dropped down on ropes from the rafters. And the sword fight, when Kaye is alternately a master, then an amateur, depending on the whim of others snapping their fingers. Then, later, when they piled Basil Rathbone onto a catapult, and shot him out over the water. (Curiously violent end to what was otherwise a pretty tame comedy, all things considered. Now it reminds me of those grisly finales to various Grimm's tales, such as when the Queen at Snow White's wedding is forced to wear red-hot iron shoes and dance until she drops down dead....) Since Paramount has saved so much else, I wonder if the tracks to this exist somewhere...    Posted:   Jan 14, 2012 - 6:07 PM     By:   CH-CD   (Member) Would you say there's 1,000 such fans or more like 1,200?

Well, I saw it many times, first time around....and i'm neither deaf NOR dead! Hmmm...what...pardon ???    Posted:   Jan 14, 2012 - 6:44 PM     By:   Joe Caps   (Member) Both Paramount and Warners did a strange thing with their music tracks. Mostly for musicals, the background scores were kept but NOT the vocals.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2012 - 6:29 AM     By:   Score Whore   (Member) Where's the pellet with the poison?    Posted:   Jan 24, 2012 - 7:20 AM     By:   siriami   (Member) next to the chalice from the palace, of course! And I'd buy a copy if an expanded version was ever released.

"No,No,No !.,.....someone broke the Chalice from the Palace. The Flagon with the Dragon has the pellet with the poison. The Vessel with the Pestle has the brew that is true !!!".......    Posted:   Jan 25, 2012 - 2:47 AM     By:   siriami   (Member) I should read these posts more carefully! Sorry Score Whore - you are right! Alistair    Posted:   Jan 25, 2012 - 5:34 AM     By:   Score Whore   (Member) It's comic gold, that's for sure.    Posted:   Jan 25, 2012 - 7:41 AM     By:   Robert0320   (Member) Gordon Jenkins is credited for it on the album, but Victor Schoen scored the movie itself According to his bio "Compsoed & Conducted by Walter Scharf", Scharf re-scored the entire film, but did not receive any screen credit.    Posted:   Jan 25, 2012 - 10:19 AM     By:   Jim Doherty   (Member) Trivia: I would have to watch the film again, but I remember a Rozsa cue being tracked in early in the film (a scene in a barn, as I recall).     General Discussion: The Court Jester.
