cujas Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Georgine Darcy dances to what music in what Hitchcock film and, if you dare, who choreographed it? Link to post Share on other sites
CineramaRick Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Georgine, as Miss Torso, dances to Bernstein's Fancy Free in Hitchcock's *Rear Window*. I don't know who choreographed it but I read where she came up with it herself. Don't know if that's true or not. Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yes, Yes, Yes--and the "Fancy Free" ballet music was later incorporated into Bernstein's "On the Town", which also took place in New York, New York. Rarely have I ever said Yes so many times to a man-- Rick you're definitely special! Link to post Share on other sites
CineramaRick Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 LOL. You're very funny. Thanks. How about giving us another one? Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Muddy, you might dig this one. The opera, "Tristan & Isolde", has the most famous love theme in music. You can hear it blaring from the radio at Joan Crawford's beach house when she commits suicide in "Humoresque". This music is often used to illustrate the theme of star-crossed lovers. Well, one exceedingly talented film composer, who was classically trained, was handed a film in the 1950's with the star-crossed lover motif. So when he composed a love theme for the movie, the motif slightly suggested the Tristan & Isolde theme-- To display the hopelessness of the couple's situation and to relate to the history of the genre. This film is, of course, a major classic, a masterpiece with a rather bizarre love story. The film composer wrote a number of classic film scores from the 40's through the 70's. One of his scores won the Oscar, though he was nominated a number of times. You know what I want-- Link to post Share on other sites
CineramaRick Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I must jump in on this one. The composer is the legendary Bernard Herrmann and the film is *Vertigo* (1958). Herrmann won his only Academy Award for his score to *The Devil and Daniel Webster* (1941), though he should have won for several of his other scores as well. Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yes Rick, I'm used to you jumping in with everything that I need. Does "Vertigo" remind you of "Tristan & Isolde". It's so beautiful. Rick is up--- Link to post Share on other sites
CineramaRick Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Cujas, I had to jump in because Bernard Herrmann is one of my favorite composers and Vertigo is one of my favorite scores. Yes, I can hear the Wagner influences but I know the score so well that now when I listen to it, all I hear is Herrmann's magnificent music. The film and the music are truly to be cherished. Cujas, please take the thread or it is open to all. Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 This one is for Miles and whomever loves it as much as we do -- "There's a light in her eye Though she may try to hide it, she cannot deny There's a light in her eye." Link to post Share on other sites
