Just released on Blu ray from Criterion, I have it in my Netflix queue and I have a 'short wait' for it's availability to rent. I've never seen the film, but I know it has a young Claire Bloom in it, so I'm curious about it. I'm aware that in 1972, it won the Best Score Oscar over some fairly hefty rivals that year. through some 'loophole' in The Academy's rules on eligibility regarding the music category, and that 'loophole' has long since been closed. Anyone here seen this 1953 (?) film or heard it's music?

Thomas,
On the Warner Bros. DVD set:
1.) Is the score isolated on the movie disc or the "extras" disc. (I'd rather get the single-disc version if I can.)
2.) Is it truly an isolated score track, or is it a music and effects track?
Thanks.
Hi
I have this DVD set. The iso score is included on the 2nd disc with the special features. It runs 59 minutes with several chapter stops.
Unfortunately, and most disappointing, it is actually a music and effects track. It is presented in an unusual fashion, on its own, in continuous form, away from the feature film. Not the best listening experience. Not sure if any music-only stems exist, but if they do, this could make a great CD release.
What I find so interesting about LIMELIGHT was that it was filmed entirely in Hollywood, but was not released there for many years. NYC did host a roadshow engagement during 1952.

Since there's no "sheet music by Charlie Chaplin" thread from SheetMusicMan, I'll post here that I found "Terry's Theme".

Not sure about the details, but as far as I know, Charles Chaplin didn't write music at all, but knew what he wanted. So to realize the scores he "composed", he needed orchestrators. I don't know how specific Chaplin was, if he merely "hummed" the music to them, or if there were feedback loops and more detailed discussions.

Whistling Charlie Chaplin he was…

Am I wrong in thinking that Charlie could play the violin?
|

As an amateur, yes he did.

So he could play his music people his tunes that way.

'Cept he didn't. So the story goes.
Now that's odd, I would've.

He could, but as far as I know he did not. It was a collaborative effort, but I always found it tricky to give him Music by credits… but then, others did go the same route as well.
