Those two TFG credits are ontop of two already on his IMDb credits, so that would make four. At least. The full credits for the series are not on there yet. Today I completed the first season scoring credits.

62 what did he die from, pretty young actually.
Cancer, IIRC.
He also "died" in the S3 Hawaii Five-O episode, "Trouble in Mind", after getting a hold of some arsenic-tinged smack.
P.S. I sure miss his music fanfare for the "CBS Special Presentation" banner! You knew a show was "special" when you heard that.
Now go, play it fifty times!

The same disease that would later kill his friend Goldsmith. That fanfare from "C.B.S. Special Presentation" is actually from the second track of Call To Danger", the second track from the "Hawaii Five O" L.P. And does anybody remember his theme for "The C.B.S. Thursday/Friday Night Movie" (you can hear part of it in an episode of "Gilligan's Island" where Gilligan's mouth becomes a radio transmitter). It was later rearranged for the "C.B.S. Thursday/Friday Night Movie"'s 71-72 season, and was used for the Sunday night version, which lasted only one season, and was rearranged again for "The New C.B.S. Tuesday Night Movies" for the '72-73 season. They should put BOTH versions of the themes on a Morton Stevens C.D. compilation someday. An underrated composer, to be sure.

Yes, Mort's THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIE theme was also heard in many episodes of HAWAII FIVE-O, as well as "source" music in a great little CBS TV movie/Thriller that Mort did, entitled "The Face Of Fear" (1971) which starred a young Elizabeth Ashley. Also, Mort did a new arrangement of the theme for the short-lived, "The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies" (1972)
Anyway, a great theme that was always a pleasure to hear, courtesy of Mr. Stevens...:-)
