[Fmpro] FMPRO Digest, Vol 37, Issue 33

Claude - my god man, I watched and I was inexorably thrust into a Stendhal Syndrome fugue-state. My wife heard me laughing and she said, "Oh, I'll watch the funny video when you're done." And I had to explain my laughter had nothing to do with humor - I was filled to overflowing with the ecstasy of art - I was laughing out of pure joy. These titles are simply how it is done. All involved accomplished, in it's fullest expression, what cinema is capable of. I miss such bravura and boldly emphatic sophistication, I miss it because I am still spoiled from the artistry of the 60s (Europe) and 70s (America). Whomever has of late been posting critically of Williams now has some postings to eat. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - scoring at it's best my friends. I swear I can detect the direct influences/points-of-departure that John might have actually had in mind for CMIYC, and if so these would only add to the genius of the finished product. I am thinking of Jerry Goldsmith's main title movement for THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER, as regards the devilish, disturbing tone, and Fred Katz's music for the classic AIP quickie LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, and this as regards the quirky structures/arrangements and the oblique references to jazz. I'm getting my wallet out again, there is a CD I have to buy. - JohnB
