More music for Jerry Fielding fans! World premiere of complete score from Michael Winner update of classic Raymond Chandler private eye tale with Robert Mitchum as Philip Marlowe plus all-star cast (James Stewart, Richard Boone, Joan Collins, Oliver Reed, many others.) Fielding avoids expected noir-style vernacular, instead writes bold symphonic jazz main theme, then dives into signature complex, intense music for orchestra. CD presents nearly twice as much music as previously issued "suite", mastered from mono session tapes housed in Brigham Young University archives. Nick Redman notes offer insight to composer's final score for director Winner. Reproduction of original Amsel artwork campaign completes handsome package. Jerry Fielding conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1500 copies! SOLD OUT!
