Bacall. I thought at the time it was good, but after watching the recently released dvd thatI bought at DVD Planet, I no longer have that high opinion of it! But I like KennethMore. At any rate, I’d love to have a video of the movie and hear Murray’s music.Nothing on eBay…just checked. Maybe I can find a collector’s site somewhere who hasa personal copy that he can sell me…It is apparently not available yet on dvd, and I found nothing on eBay (probably neveron the old vhs format). Would readers here have any recommendations of good &reliable collectors' sites that offer old, obscure movies like this one? I'd like to hearMurray's music (and of course revisit the movie!). Such sites would include old televisionprograms as well.Thanks in advance.By the way, if you enjoy reading about Herrmann, you should get a copy of Murray'sjournal-book. He interacted with Herrmann frequently until about 1961 when theirrelationship soured (thanks in no small part to Herrmann's insults! : )Here's an account I blogged about today:quote: In the Sunday, July 16, 1961 entry, Murray gave highly fascinating details onthe mess tied to who was composing Tender Is the Night. He was taken off the projectbecause Herrmann got the job back (although Herrmann turned it down after he was toldhe had to work with Fain’s material. Herrmann tried to compose a commercial song but itfailed to impress the producers! So Murray was given the job until Herrmann came backand literally cried (according to Henry King) that he wanted the job, and even cut his feefrom $17,500 to $15,000 and agreed to swallow his pride and work with Fain’s song.Interesting.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________talkingherrmann mailing list*************************************202
