With the surprise announcement of the new Tiomkin 2CD rerecording of the original Spencer Tracy film THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA I decided to seek some preliminary that I accidentally came across this TV movie starring Anthony Quinn in this TV adaptation from 1989 scored by Bruce Broughton.
Within minutes I was in love of the suite represented there and decided to pursue it. And by luck 'just found a copy last night on Lukas Kendall's FSM CD sale. the cd long OOP and happens to be also issued by Intrada. No doubt an early release from the Broughtons longtime relationship with Intrada.
Iam now looking forward to both versions.
So, is there any love for this version of THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA? I couldn't find any other discussion so far here on the board.
It's a lovely score, Broughton chanelling Rodrigo's 'Concierto de Aranjuez', but injecting enough Broughton-isms of his own, to make it a stellar work of his.

Let's hear some NEW love for it
Yes, I concur. I'am looking forward to it so need some more hype on it. Will probably receive this at the same time when the Tiomkin set arrives.
It is one of BBs loveliest. A number of tracks regularly made their way onto compilations( when I did them for the car). Do we know if this could be expanded, or is this the lot.
I'm so looking forward to both scores on the same subject.
Maybe Intrada can turn around another reissue with remastered material or expanding on it? Not so soon but after a while when I have thoroughly enjoyed this first
No NEW love for it here… always loved the Bruce Broughton score, another fantastic one by the veteran composer. 2 of his scores are in my alltime fav top 15.

Great to know. I know now that Iam in for a treat!
