Great Herrmann score for a fine (but not classic) psychological thriller. Here’s my<br />

52-page rundown on the music:<br />

I like this movie that is a tear-jerker for some. I enjoy John Barry’s music that I<br />

have done a rundown treatment on here:<br />

-Eyes Wide Shut (1999) *** 1/2<br />

I like this strange movie because of two strong elements: charismatic Tom Cruise<br />

was the main star, and Kubrick was the director. The subject matter is disturbing and not<br />

a good base for a great movie. I reviewed the picture on Talking Herrmann when it came<br />

out:<br />

-Battle Cry (1955) *** [music *** 1/2]<br />

This is a decent Warner Bros. WWII war flick. I was most interested in the<br />

soldiers with their love affairs. Dorothy Malone is simply gorgeous (see 33-34 minutes<br />

into the movie with her white top)! I like the scene around 38 minutes into the movie<br />

when Tab Hunter goes to her apartment. When she undresses on the chair at 42 minutes<br />
