Silver Age Classics: All Fall Down/The Outrage

This CD features two scores by Alex North (1911-1991) recalling his
roots in the American stage, where his innovations of chamber
ensembles and dramatic introspection helped to revolutionize film
scoring.

All Fall Down (1962) is a family/coming-of-age drama directed by John
Frankenheimer, who like North was known for his technical genius but
had a heart for intimate drama. North's poignant, sweetly jazzy score
is full of hushed, haunting textures, with lovely themes drawing the
pained connections between the characters.

The Outrage (1964) is an American remake of the Akira Kurosawa classic
Rashomon, transposed to the American West. North's complete score runs
a mere 14:29 (presented as a one-track suite), favoring a gentle,
lovely theme for the woman and victim (Claire Bloom) whose beauty sets
the tale in motion.

Golden Age Classics: Green Fire/Bhowani Junction

Miklos Rozsa scored two films for M-G-M in the mid-1950s set in exotic
locations: modern-day Colombia for Green Fire (1954) and post-WWII
India for Bhowani Junction (1956).

Green Fire is an action-adventure romance starring Stewart Granger as
an emerald prospector and Grace Kelly as the owner of a Colombian
coffee plantation. Rozsa's stirring symphonic score features a title
song (lyrics by Jack Brooks) created from the gorgeous main theme.
FSM's premiere release features the complete underscore in stereo,
with bonus tracks of source cues and instrumental alternates.

Bhowani Junction, directed by George Cukor, stars Ava Gardner as a
half-caste torn between three loves amidst the English withdrawal from
India. The music is as much of a "non-score" as Rozsa ever composed:
almost entirely source music. The cues are presented largely in
stereo, with a bonus track culled from monaural masters.

FSM's CD of Green Fire/Bhowani Junction features the two sides of '50s
Rozsa "exotica," from dramatic, symphonic strains of Green Fire to the
offbeat stylings of Bhowani Junction.
