    Questions about the ALIEN score/sound mix

    Anspaugh and Angelo Pizzo were heartbroken when Goldsmith died before he could do The Game of Their Lives. And yes, both the other films were great experiences for the guys and for Goldsmith. Mostly, from what I've gleaned, because Goldsmith simply liked the guys and liked the movies. And he...

    To give you a happier story with Jerry Goldsmith, I have worked with David Anspaugh, who worked well with Goldsmith. He told me about screening a rough cut of Hoosiers for Jerry Goldsmith when they were trying to get him to do the score, even though they didn't have a big budget. Apparently...
