Blu-ray Review The Big Country Blu-ray Review (Kino) (1 Viewer)

[Robert Crawford]

Actually, the Jerome Moross score is one of the all-time great scores, even greater than "The Magnificent Seven", IMO. "...Seven" has a terrific theme, but Moross' score is varied and thematic throughout without relying on one theme.

It's maybe greater, but it's not more popular which is what we were discussing.

D'oh!

My 65-year-old memory strikes again! At least tell me I was right that it was Bob Mitchum's voice?

Yep, you got that right. Then after Mitchum passed away they had Sam Elliott voice the ads.

Mr. Crawford: We were discussing a subjective opinion you hold. I hold a differing opinion. Sorry if my expression of that is somehow "off topic" when it's about the film that is the subject of the thread. I'd be interested In what source you have for degrees of popularity of the themes.

Thanks for the superb review. Your writing is wonderful. It swayed me to pick up this release during the current Kino sale. I’m looking forward to seeing it. The last time was on TCM some years ago.

Received my copy yesterday, delayed as I had also ordered Deep Rising and since it was a sale all ordered disc shipped at the same time. Have only looked at the opening, it looks and sounds fantastic.
