Reply To: Film composers at 85+ still around?
Paul Chihara — still active
Not terribly familiar with him. I think he did a lot of 70s TV in the US, right? I don’t have a single work of his, but I’m slightly familiar with I NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE GARDEN (1977, featuring a cameo of Danny Elfman in what is probably his first interaction with film ever) and PRINCE OF THE CITY, for example.
I primarily know him for the TV mini series NOBLE HOUSE which I still have the LP of and I actually have no other score by him. Seems he did indeed a lot of TV and also quite some concert works. Buysoundtrax released some stuff by him.

Again, not terribly familiar with his work, but LE CERCLE ROUGE is great.
Yeah, quite good movie with Lino Ventura as well if I recall right.
