ON THE BEACH / SECRET OF SANTA VITTORIA
Label: Film Score Monthly FSMCD Vol. 5 No. 7 Date: 1959 Tracks: 25 Time = 70:59
Magnificent filming by Stanley Kramer of Nevil Shute's end-of-civilization tale carries elegiac music mingling "Waltzing Matilda" tune with emotional themes of resolve. In between find snippets of wistful Americana on one hand, fortissimo brass motifs for submarine activities on the other. One of the great film scores. Same contents as original Roulette LP, presented in stereo from multi-track elements. CD also has zesty, tuneful score for Stanley Kramer's WWII comedy THE SECRET OF SANTA VITTORIA from 1969. Same contents as original United Artists stereo LP. Ernest Gold conducts.
