Reply To: FSM # 20: Final scores – best and worst?
Franz Waxman is my favourite Golden Age composer. According to IMDB, his final film was a TV film called TO DIE IN PARIS (1968), which must have been released posthumously, since he died in 1967. But he had a spectacular last great year in 1962, with TARAS BULBA, HEMINGWAY’S ADVENTURES OF A YOUNG MAN and MY GEISHA, all wonderful scores. But HEMINGWAY remains my favourite of the three (featuring a young John Williams on piano).
