filmlover Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I just noticed that of the Deborah Kerr movies airing tonight, three in a row have great scores by film composer Miklos Rozsa: Young Bess, Julius Caesar, and Quo Vadis. Rozsa was an amazing composer whose scores included film noir (Double Indemnity, The Killers, A Double Life, Naked City, etc.), epics (Ben-Hur, King of Kings, Quo Vadis), costume pictures (Young Bess, Diana, Madame Bovary, Ivanhoe, Plymouth Adventure, etc.), fantasies (Thief of Bagdad, Time After Time, Golden Voyage of Sinbad, etc.), thrillers (Spellbound, The Power, etc.), dramas (The Lost Weekend, etc.) and more.

JackBurley Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 He was a marvel. I think my favorite Rozsa moments are the intoxicating, dizzying waltz that overcomes Madam Bovary ("break the windows!") and his haunting use of the theramin in Spellbound.

albatros1 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Rozsa was a violin player at age 5 and his violin concerto for the film The Private life of Sherlock Holmes, is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
