Posts from ethanedwards in thread „Duke's Movie Soundtracks- Past Discussion (Archive)“

Thanks for the other link, Jim,
I've merged them anyway, they seem to flow OK.
Anyway at least now, we have them under the same roof.

I have now merged threads together on this subject,
and if any newer members have any thoughts about
the music that was brilliantly scored for Duke's movies,
please let us know.

Most Movies With a Composer

1.Elmer Bernstein.8
1=Victor Young. 8
3. Roy Webb.7
4.Dimitri Tiomkin.6-7
4=Richard Hageman.6

Oh Well, in that case
carry on callin me Ethan, at least it's different!!

I honestly believe that the three composers,
in a few years down will be classed
as modern classical composers and be treated accordingly.

Hi Mike,

I agree, along with John Williams they are the tops,

Check out the Forum, on

By the way Mike,
it's really Keith

Hi Mike,

Pals of theSaddle- Jerry Goldsmith

Hi Mike,
This was available a few years ago at £15.95 from
THE JOHN WAYNE FILM SOCIETY,
Below, I have given you a link to them,
it may be worth checking, with them, to see, if they still,
have it stock

Hi Mike,
If it includes the song THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER
sung by Johnny Cash,
then almost certain, it is a re-release of the German
DIE VIER SOHNE DER KATIE ELDER,
Hope this helps,

Hi,
Whilst on the subject of composers, perhaps it's worth mentioning,
two or three lesser known ones, for example:-

Richard Hageman, for
STAGECOACH
THE LONG VOYAGE HOME
ANGEL AND THE BADMAN
FORT APACHE
3 GODFATHERS
SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON

Emil Newman for,
BIG JIM McLAIN
ISLAND IN THE SKY
HONDO

and I previously mentioned Victor Young, for THE QUIET MAN
but he was also responsible for,
THE DARK COMMAND
THREE FACES WEST
REAP THE WILD WIND
FLYING TIGERS
SANDS OF IWO JIMA
RIO GRANDE
THE CONQUEROR

Oh and by the way, he wrote a little song, young and old might know,

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE

Best Wishes,
Keith

Keith

Luckily most of the music in Dukes films has been great.
THE SEARCHERS, RED RIVER, THE COMMANCHEROS, THE QUIET MAN RIO LOBO.
THE SHOOTIST.THE WAR WAGON etc
When you look at the illustrious writers that were employed, it's no wonder!
Most of them, remain, the greatest movie music writers, of all time.
