FSM # 38: March 4, 2012

….in certain film music events that were never recorded, what would they be?

For me, I’d love to have been there when….

….Elfman met Tim Burton and Paul Reubens for the first time, as they were prepping PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE

….the first meeting between Williams and Spielberg for SUGARLAND EXPRESS

….when Herrmann threw a fit at Hitchcock over the TORN CURTAIN controversy

…Alex North first saw the screening of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY without his music, and left the room in protest

Just a few off the top of my head. I’ll try to think of more.

Also interesting perhaps….

Steven Spielberg’s first reaction to John Williams’ introduction of the shark motif… he thought Williams was pulling his leg.

William Friedkin throwing a fit over the great, late Lalo Schifrin’s music for THE EXORCIST. Also, William Friedkin arguing with Bernard Herrmann over the music for THE EXORCIST.
