forgotten work for, "Experiment in Terror."

From the sensational opening scene onward, it propels and intensifies this spine-tingling drama.

But don't just listen to the music, catch the film. It stars a very young and beautiful Lee Remick, Stefainie Powers (in a career-making role), Glenn Ford as a laconic, driven FBI agent, and Ross Martin--- who also saw his career jump after a chilling performance. (Cinematography, for film buffs, is especially noteworthy, also).

ever filmed here.

Holds up extraordinarily well for the great film it
is and seriously embarrasses most films in that
"genre".

He always wanted to be a "Serious" Composer, felt pigeon-holed as the more Pop guy.
A friend of mine knew him.
He used de-tuned Auto Harps in "Terror'", definitely an Avant-Guard idea!
He did The Creature from the Black Lagoon, uncredited.
On the Peter Gunn Soundtrack, Johnny ( John ) Williams was the Piano Player!

 

Hmmm, maybe it was Wait Until Dark. Nt, posted on June 2, 2020 at 12:33:37

John Williams, for "A.I."

Especially the last half, or so, of the film, in which David seeks the Blue Fairy, and is rewared by the alien robots with a single day with his mother.

There's James Cameron's "Avatar," by James Horner.

One more, "King of Kings," Miklos Rozsa.
