Glorious theme, and decent film - some absolutely great Caine lines in it, and some from Denholm Elliott too.

Congrats on your first soundtrack for a Disney-owned movie!

[EDIT:] Apparently it's part of the MGM catalogue now.

"...Listen, you miserable bastard,
I'm not interested in your problems.
We lost two PT boats yesterday
not 2 miles from that bay down there.
I have to spend the rest of this day
writing to folks back in the States.
"Dear Mrs. Smith, a funny thing happened
to your boy last night. He got burnt up."
What shall I tell them?
Too bad your kid couldn't be a bit smarter.
If he spoke Japanese, we could've
gotten him a job sitting on his ass..."

A Caine favourite

"All eight of them scored by Hornsby.

"What's he mean, all eight of them?"

"He means that Fairy Feet Hornsby...deployed his forces with such a masterly grasp of tactics...
half of us got ourselves shot by the other bloody half."

"No, it can't be."

"Can't be? Go and dig the bullets out. You won't find "Made in Japan" written on them."

The film is much better then I recalled, great performances, tight direction and Fried score which I think is nothing short of outstanding.

This was a joy to see re-reissued.

Wow, this is a hugely entertaining Gerald Fried score, what a great release and one of the finest Fried scores. So great he had for once a bigger budget and 90 musicians, it shows. Thanks Dragon‘s Domain.

Gerald Fried was an outstanding composer who deserves to have more of his work.

Well, I'm glad you were happy with the project. I think we were able to improve the presentation and even the sound quality and bring it into the 21st-century.
