Heinz Roemheld


I must say that - even with literally hundreds of scores - I'm not very familiar with other Roemheld works. What are your favorites, Ray?


THE FULLER BRUSH MAN, DRACULA'S DAUGHTER, THE WHITE HELL OF PITZ-PALU, THE BLACK CAT, THE INVISIBLE MAN, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY, THE GREAT IMPERSONATION, BOMBAY MAIL, THE ROARING TWENTIES, THE STRAWBERRY BLONDE, THE DESERT SONG.

THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD was released on CD by Monstrous Movie Music. Excellent later Roemheld.

His most famous is probably RUBY GENTRY and the song "Ruby". I've never seen it.

Not a single score of his has seen the light of day in any format.

Thank you. I'm actually familiar with "The Monster That Challenged the World" and I'd forgotten he'd scored it. Excellent indeed. I've also seen a few of the other films you cited, but it's been years. It does seem like a CD of re-recorded Roemheld themes/suites is the only way most of his music will be ever heard outside of the films themselves.

I haven't seen "Ruby Gentry" either, but it's been on my radar for many years and the Ray Charles recording of the song is wonderful, a classic (and terrifically used in another film - Federico Fellini's "Toby Dammit," where Nino Rota also weaves it into a few of his score cues), so I will catch up with it soon.

Since there are a few people on this board that thinks the labels releasing every single score (either as a premiere or in an expanded form) of Jerry Goldsmith so therefore I must say that the labels overlook his son Joel.

Scores by Goldsmith Junior that I would love to be released are:
Rattled
Joshua Tree/Army of One
Man`s Best Friend
The Man With Two Brains
Maniac Cop 3
among others, that is too bad because he got talent.

I hope that someday the speciality labels will address the considerable career of Wojciech Kilar.
With thanks again to LaLa Land for the extraordinary release of Bram Stoker's Dracula; a truly stunning set.

He only did 5 movies though, according to imdb.

Tim Truman has 39 imdb credits without anything released commercially:

Kritzerland is also one of the only labels who released Marvin Hamlisch scores last decade, with "Bananas" and "Romantic Comedy." La La Land released "D.A.R.Y.L." around the same time, but since then I don't know of any other Hamlisch releases.

LLL released a 2 on 1 of Save The Tiger & Ordinary People a great double feature that is, Varese released a touring concert Play it Again Marvin its not exactly all Marvin's music nonetheless its under his name.

The labels don't "overlook" them, the film score buyers do, hence they are less often published.

I suspect that labels are less aware of certain films than others.

I disagree. If you ever saw my proposal lists at Varese you'd know we are very aware. I talk to other labels. We are all very aware of what's available. It's an issue of will we sell enough. Everytime.

Heinz Roemheld

I've always liked Roemheld's "Lady from Shanghai" but the Twilight Time blu-ray not including an isolated score seems to suggest that the tapes no longer exist.

I must say that - even with literally hundreds of scores - I'm not very familiar with other Roemheld works. What are your favorites, Ray?


Twilight Time never released THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI. It has had multiple Blu-ray releases: Mill Creek, Powerhouse/Indicator and Turner Classic Movies. But not Twilight Time.

Well, then some of these labels should have been more aggressive about reissuing key 1950s and 60s scores before they fell into the public domain in Europe. A lot of that stuff would have sold in the 1990s, but it was not a high priority at the time.

And then the boutique labels bitch about labels like Harkit, all because they were asleep at the wheel. Their loss.

Always the same names I am afraid:


and for the video game scores:

BILL BROWN
JAMES HANNIGAN
JAMES SEYMOUR BRETT


Yes. Hannigan's Conquest sci-fi war score is brilliant. Evil Genius compares well with The Incredibles.

Bill Brown... I wonder what he's up to these days? Should be more film scoring.

Michael Gordon Shapiro. His Empire Earth II score is just one of many game and small film scores that proves he has the best of Poledouris, Williams, Barry, and Goldsmith going for him. Shapiro should be doing Star Wars.

Hannigan and Shapiro have the most projects bereft of releases.
