I've been listening to this new North CD from Film Score Monthly.
This is one of North's more small-scale, intimate scores (as opposed
to his epics, like "Spartacus" and "Cleopatra.")If you like North's
work for "literary" movies, like "The Long Hot Summer," "Who's Afraid
of Virginia Woolf?" etc., you'll probably like "All Fall Down"
(1962). It's full of subtle, complex, delicate melody--often quite
beautiful. The disc also includes a 14-minute suite that North
composed for a movie called "The Outrage" (1964), which reminds me in
places of certain parts of "Africa," though it's more melodic than
that score. It also has passages with a Mexican flavor, as in
North's "Viva Zapata!" (The movie, set in the Old West, revolves
around a Mexican character.) All in all, quite a worthy edition to
the North CD catalog. I'm surprised Varese Sarabande didn't release
this one long ago.
