SH Spotlight "The most complicated project SH ever worked on?" Franz Waxman "The Nun's Story" WB soundtrack CD

Devastating. I was ready for two more hours, Sister Luke nursing for the Resistance, maybe finding Dr. Fortunati, I just didn't want the story to end.

 

I can't even imagine, and working with reels, good lord. There was one particular spot where the craziness of the cues hit home, where it was music - stop - script - stop - music - stop, and i had to laugh, even though it was a high tension moment.

 

Just a few years before the NUNS STORY, my dad was a contributor to Franz Waxman's "Crime in the Streets". It featured a very sinister score that showcased my dad, Jack Dumont on alto sax, longtime studio session man Chuck Gentry on tenor and baritone sax, and Pete Condoli on trumpet and Ray Turner on piano. It's interesting that I remember that movie before I ever knew that my dad was on that record. If you have never heard that score, I highly recommend it. It showcases Waxman's work at his best in my opinion.
