As promised, here are the two new Kritzerland releases - if you desire them, just go to the website to order - they'll be "live" at six.


THE BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA and VIOLENT SATURDAY
Music Composed by Hugo Friedhofer

Based on a story by Ellis St. John, 1958’s The Barbarian and the Geisha recounts the story of Townsend Harris, who arrives in Japan in the 1850s as the first American to serve as Consul-General to Japan, and who was a key figure in opening relations between Japan and America.  The film stars John Wayne, and is directed by John Huston.   Much of it shot on location, the film is beautiful to look at and features Twentieth Century Fox’s usual top-notch production values.

One of The Barbarian and the Geisha’s strongest elements is its absolutely stunning score by Hugo Friedhofer.  By that point, Friedhofer had already written several masterpieces, including The Best Years of Our Lives, The Bishop’s Wife, and, at Fox, such glorious scores as An Affair to Remember, The Boy on a Dolphin, The Rains of Ranchipur, Soldier of Fortune, Seven Cities of Gold, The Revolt of Mamie Stover, Between Heaven and Hell, and, the same year as Barbarian, The Young Lions.   

Friedhofer’s score for The Barbarian and the Geisha manages to have Oriental color while remaining tonal in a completely American way.  It’s a thing of  sublime beauty and one of his best scores.  His main theme is heartbreakingly beautiful and is repeated many times throughout the score, and the rest of his music complements and enriches every scene in the film – this is Golden Age movie music the way we remember Golden Age movie music – melodic, dramatic, tender, suspenseful, and evoking a different time and place through orchestral color and knowing how the orchestra can be utilized to also evoke Oriental textures without resorting to triteness.

Violent Saturday, based on the novel by W. L. Heath, was made three years earlier and is a taut and suspenseful film about a small-town robbery.  Almost fifty after its release, it’s considered a classic (the DVD was recently released by Twilight Time and is a must-have), with terrific performances from Richard Egan, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and the large cast, excellent writing (screenplay by Sidney Boehm, who wrote the screenplay for the noir classic, The Big Heat), and great direction from Richard Fleischer,

Hugo Friedhofer’s score for Violent Saturday is perfection and a textbook example of how and when to use music.  All told, the score is only about twenty minutes long, but it’s the perfect amount of music for this film.  It does exactly what film music is supposed to do – propels the film, underscores the scenes that need it, and stays out of the way when music would serve no purpose.   There are no classic Friedhofer themes to be found – just music that functions sometimes as subtext, sometimes as suspense, and sometimes as violent as the goings on in Violent Saturday.

Both The Barbarian and the Geisha and Violent Saturday had previous CD releases on Intrada, both long out of print and instant sellouts.  The Barbarian and the Geisha was a standalone CD and Violent Saturday played second feature to Warlock by Leigh Harline.  It’s great to be able to couple the two Friedhofer scores together, and make them available to those who may have missed out on the prior releases, or who’d like to have these two scores together on one CD.  This release has been newly-remastered by James Nelson.


THE GOOD OLD BAD OLD DAYS
Original Cast Recording
Music and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley

On July 20, 1961, a new musical opened at the Queen’s Theatre in England.  The musical was called Stop the World, I Want to Get Off, and was co-written, directed by, and starred Anthony Newley.  The show was a smash, went to Broadway and Newley became an instant superstar.   From there it was more shows (Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd), films, as writer, director, and actor, sometimes all three at once (Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness, Willy Wonka, Doctor Dolittle), TV (tons of guest shots on every variety show of the era), and concerts all over the world.

In 1971, while on tour doing concert dates, Newley and Bricusse began work on a new original musical entitled It’s a Funny Old World We Live In – But the World’s Not Entirely to Blame, a musical that Bricusse described as “a modst little saga about Man, Life, Death, God and The Devil, with the history of the world thrown in.”  The show got as far as pre-production in New York at the end of that year.  But then producer James Nederlander got cold feet and pulled out.  Original Stop the World West End producer Bernard Delfont came to the rescue and the show, sporting a new title, The Good Old Bad Old Days, was slated for a short tour then a West End opening in December of 1972. 

The reviews were lukewarm – some were okay, and some were blistering, however Newley the performer was well received by almost all the reviewers.  The show would hang on for nine months.  Being a Newley and Bricusse score, of course it abounds with catchy melodies and some genuinely good songs.  Listening to the score forty years later, divorced from the show itself, the score is very pleasing to hear, and the performances are wonderful. 

The Good Old Bad Old Days was released on LP on EMI in the UK.  This is its first CD release.

Both CDs are limited to 1000 copies only.   The price is $19.98 plus shipping for each.

CDs will ship by the first week of May – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).   To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Sorry to have been E&T again, but my Mim is in the hospital again.  Her atrial fibulation is acting up keeping her heart rate too high.  When they use drugs, her blood pressure drops too low.  Plus she has a touch of pneumonia and she's not eating as she should.  This morning they are going to determine if she can go through a procedure called ablation which would shock her heart back into the proper rhythm.  Please send some vibes her way.

Good morning, all! I wasn't in bed before 1am, so I slept late (for me). I'm still tired, but I am washed up, dressed, and on my first cup of coffee. I have to make the bed, tidy the apartment and vacuum before I tackle the Intermezzo from DEAREST ENEMY. Five numbers to go!

I posted these clips from ONCE several weeks ago, but after its reviews, it's time to post them again.

The Chicago Tribune's fantastic review has some great things about the adaptation:
But this is no traditional screen-to-stage adaptation. Rather, it's a textbook example of how to do it right: Chapter 1 being, forget most of the movie and build a show. Along with director John Tiffany and movement artist Steven Hoggett (whose unusual work is this show's most potent emotional weapon; you should see the moment when a mother wraps around a distressed soul with her body, as if she were a piece of clothing), Walsh understands that you don't need all the clutter of short scenes, merely the essence of the story that will allow human actors to forge a direct, live connection. Everything you see, hear and feel is inherently theatrical — literality drops away like Dublin street noise as you head to an undiscovered country, and you start to feel things that the movie simply could not make you feel. The characters deepen, and their dilemmas seem to pulse directly to you.

As I continue my "Company" fixation and class this semester, here's an audio clip (no video) of Dean Jones singing "Happily Ever After" before "Being Alive" replaced it. I always liked this song and think even more of it now. It's too much to take in in one or even three hearings, so I can understand why it flopped. But, boy, does Jones knock it out of the park.

Speaking of your website, BK, I personally would love it if you had a page that listed things alphabetically or perhaps you had a search box on each page to aid in finding things.  For instance, after I added Barbarian & Geisha to my cart, going back to Home meant there was no splash page with GOBOD there, and no way to search for it.

Elmore's adventure at the ER yesterday reminded me of a few years ago when I broke my ankle and a neighbor dropped me off at the closest hospital's ER, which turned out to also be a Methadone dispensing clinic.  With the perfect logic of an ER, they were dispensing Methadone first to each and everyone who walked in while letting the rest of us rot in a corner.  I waited for about an hour, called Betsy and told her I couldn't stand it any longer, to bundle the kids up and come get me to take me to a better hospital.  I went and told the ER admitting nurse I was leaving, which made her very upset and she yelled at me, "All right, but I'm marking you down for eloping triage."  I burst out into hysterical laughter.  Eloping triage has become one of our favorite terms  Chez K.

You know, when I listen to his "Being Alive" and then Larry Kert's, I can't help but notice the difference. Jones feels it. He's Bobby singing that song. Kert is any singer, all plummy vocals and next to no emotional depth. It's prettier, but shallower.

I have an extremely rare 49 star flag which was part of my father's commissioning ceremony when he made the rank of Brigadier General in early 1960.  I've been told it's worth a lot of money.

The bleeding stopped but it took ninety minutes, which seems long. I had someone else look at it and they did not think it looked deep at all. Although it does look a bit worse than i originally thought. I am just glad it stopped bleeding.

Finger tips and scalps are famous for lots of bleeding from little wounds.

Who would think that that much blood could come out of such a small finger. And such a small wound. I have never bled like that ever.

Speaking of your website, BK, I personally would love it if you had a page that listed things alphabetically or perhaps you had a search box on each page to aid in finding things.  For instance, after I added Barbarian & Geisha to my cart, going back to Home meant there was no splash page with GOBOD there, and no way to search for it.

Ditto!

Sorry to have been E&T again, but my Mim is in the hospital again.  Her atrial fibulation is acting up keeping her heart rate too high.  When they use drugs, her blood pressure drops too low.  Plus she has a touch of pneumonia and she's not eating as she should.  This morning they are going to determine if she can go through a procedure called ablation which would shock her heart back into the proper rhythm.  Please send some vibes her way.

As I continue my "Company" fixation and class this semester, here's an audio clip (no video) of Dean Jones singing "Happily Ever After" before "Being Alive" replaced it. I always liked this song and think even more of it now. It's too much to take in in one or even three hearings, so I can understand why it flopped. But, boy, does Jones knock it out of the park.

Another Good Old Bad Old Days memory:  It must have been the next year after I had seen the show, and I was asked by the debate coach of my high school to come on a debate meet in Tempe, Arizona, despite the fact that I wasn't on the debate team.  She wanted me to give some sort of "Persuasive Speech", which I wrote about the then-recent obscenity trials regarding "Carnal Knowledge."  Anyhoo, right after I committed and my parents bought my fare, what should happen but Sergio Mendes announced a concert in SLC for that very weekend.  I was verklempt--as many of you know, my love for Sergio's music is fairly unbounded.  But anyhoo I went to Tempe.  On one of my afternoons off, I went across the street to a huge record store and was perusing through their records when what should I see but the Original London Cast of GOBOD.  I was gobsmacked.  I had no idea (back in those days) that there would have even been an album.  So of course I bought it (I still have it to this day) and considered it a worthy trade off for having missed Sergio.

You know, when I listen to his "Being Alive" and then Larry Kert's, I can't help but notice the difference. Jones feels it. He's Bobby singing that song. Kert is any singer, all plummy vocals and next to no emotional depth. It's prettier, but shallower.

Sondheim on Sondheim
 (https://www.roundabouttheatre.org/upstage/lecture_sondheim.pdf)

Quote
...
Peter Filichia: This was really fun for me; it was like a time machine. Since 1965, I’ve seen every original cast of every Sondheim show. What was really exciting was growing up in
Boston because many of the shows were tried out there, so the memories really came flooding
back today. Especially when the song “Happily Ever After” was being sung because I was there
the first night of Company in Boston. There was Dean Jones singing that song, and while he was singing I saw his eyes widen, as if he were saying, “Oh my God, they hate this song. They hate me. I have got to get out of this show.” And he did. He quit the show.

I swear this is a true story: about thirty years later, I was asked to go down and do a press conference for the Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame. (Yes, there is one). That year they were inducting Jim Nabors, the guy who played Gomer Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show, and Mary Badham who played Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird and Dean Jones who had been in Boston doing Company.

And Jones said, “I’ll never forget that first night, singing ‘Happily Ever After.’ I was saying,
‘Oh my God, the people hate me. They hate the song. I’ve got to get out of this show.” So that
came back to me today.

Back in 1991, I went on a job interview in Sarasota, FL (coming in from upstate New York), and did well on the interviews and tests, but it was nothing compared with going to a used book store with some recordings in it and finding a used copy of "The Golden Apple."

Thanks, der Brucer. Jones also said elsewhere that he could never get a handle on Bobby. I think that's why he was so good. He was as lost as Bobby is, and in his singing, he's not afraid to show it. Hard for an actor to do that. And in the clips of the 1993 reunion, he's so self-assured and just enjoying himself that he's all Dean Jones and no Bobby at all. He's still good, but it's not the same.

See the bottom of this "review" for a complete musical sequence.DR Ben, I don't agree with you about the movie and the musical; i think the musical is an imaginative revision and not an attempt to put the film onstage: the songs are in different places, the cast iis utilized more imaginatively. I wish more movie adaptations treated the films they're based on so loosely rather than try to present the movie onstage.

Thanks for the link & comments.  I sent the link to Keith's cousin & aunt who will be in NY in May.

Sorry to have been E&T again, but my Mim is in the hospital again.  Her atrial fibulation is acting up keeping her heart rate too high.  When they use drugs, her blood pressure drops too low.  Plus she has a touch of pneumonia and she's not eating as she should.  This morning they are going to determine if she can go through a procedure called ablation which would shock her heart back into the proper rhythm.  Please send some vibes her way. 

MEGA HEALTH VIBES FOR YOUR MOTHER!!!

A friend at Twilight Time has confirmed that Best Buy holds "exclusivity" over "Titanic" (1953-20th-Fox: Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb).   

Sigh.

I guess Fox really KNOWS the target audience for this title -- Best Buy shoppers!

Good morning, all! I wasn't in bed before 1am, so I slept late (for me). I'm still tired, but I am washed up, dressed, and on my first cup of coffee. I have to make the bed, tidy the apartment and vacuum before I tackle the Intermezzo from DEAREST ENEMY. Five numbers to go!

I posted these clips from ONCE several weeks ago, but after its reviews, it's time to post them again.

I just came quickly to a computer to google something. I was cutting some cheese and the knife slipped and cut my pinkie. It does not seem deep. But it hurts and will not stop bleeding. I actually ended up doing what it said online- cold water, then wrap tightly and lift hand over your head. Ouch.

Sounds like a good fix.  But yes, ouch!

The bleeding stopped but it took ninety minutes, which seems long. I had someone else look at it and they did not think it looked deep at all. Although it does look a bit worse than i originally thought. I am just glad it stopped bleeding.
Do you take aspirin regularly? That's what the nurse asked me at the hospital when I wouldn't stop bleeding after they removed the IVs.

Vitamin E can also do that as well as other "healthy" things we take.

DR Jennifer how is your finger now?  I have found cuts like that usually start bleeding again & have a tendency to needs lots of band aids.

I don't think it has started bleeding again. But i've had it bandaged for the last 5 hours. I am going to take off the bandaid in a minute and check. It doesn't seem like it will bleed again. Because it was scary heavy for 90 minutes. And then on and off for 2 hours.

It is sad this happened today because i cleaned off my bike and filled the tires and had everything ready for me to go out. But my finger is still hurting.

I know for sure it is supposed to stay warm for another 3 days and maybe thru the weekend.

I did a google search.  I think advil can (boy are there a lot of side effects) and ibuprofen works similarly to aspirin. 

As mentioned finger tips do tend to bleed a bit, but your finger bled longer than expected.  It sounded like it might have needed stitches.  Since the bleeding has stayed stopped I wouldn't worry about it unless you need surgery.

I heard from former DR Tomovoz, whom I alerted to GOBOD.  He needs our vibes as he is recovering from another bout with cancer.

Thanks for sharing this news, DR JMK.

Vibes and prayers for Tomovoz!

TRIAL VIBES FOR DR CILLA!!!!

DR cillaliz is traveling?

How did I miss this?

How embarrassing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Travel Vibes for DR Cillaliz! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DR George, if you want your ONCE recording to be really complete, download Mendelssohn's piano solo "Songs Without Words," Op. 30, No. 6, the Venetian Gondoliers' Somg. It happens just before "Falling Slowly."

Not traveling, starting a very serious jury trial tomorrow.  The facts aren't serious but it's overcharged ...WAY overcharged, so it's serious

OK I am going to try this again - yesterday we saw this bird on a telephone wire  - I happened to have my camera in the car so we pulled over and I shot this picture from across the road

I guess do not put a badly cut finger under running water. I was just tring to clean it. But it made it bleed again. Well it just opened the cut and there was a little blood.

the it flew across the road and  landed in the tree right next to the passenger's window - the Vixter shot this picture(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff302/HHWgroup/HawkMarch2012640x480-1.jpg)

I did a google search.  I think advil can (boy are there a lot of side effects) and ibuprofen works similarly to aspirin. 

As mentioned finger tips do tend to bleed a bit, but your finger bled longer than expected.  It sounded like it might have needed stitches.  Since the bleeding has stayed stopped I wouldn't worry about it unless you need surgery.
I am surprised that advil cold and sinus has a lot of side effects. I am quite sensitive to medication and i get no side effects from it. Maybe it did bleed longer because i have had to take the advil.

Btw this might sound dumb but how do you know if you need stitches? Since the cut did not seem deep to me it did not occur to me that i might need them.

if you haven't stopped bleeding for 90 minutes you might need stitches

DR Vixmom - I think it's a hawk or falcon of some kind.
Title: Re: THE HAPPY MONDAY NOTES
Post by: Laura on March 19, 2012, 08:20:58 PM
We have stayed at the Bright Angel (right on the rim) and at Yavapai Lodge (away from the rim).

If you have lots of money to spend, you would want to stay at the El Tovar. If you like rustic (as in tiny and sink/toilet only (shower down the hall), you want one of the cabins at the Bright Angel. The Yavapai was like a regular motel room.

We ate at the cafeterias in the Yavapai or Mazwik (near the Bright Angel). If you have money to spend, eat at the El Tovar.

We don't have lots of money to spend, so they don't let the likes of us in the nice places.
Title: Re: THE HAPPY MONDAY NOTES
Post by: Laura on March 19, 2012, 08:22:03 PM
If you were out here, Vixmom, I would say it's a red-tail hawk. You have different hawks than we have, although you do have red-tails.

I have asked an expert, and I will let you know when she answers.

Great shots, by the way.

Cooper's Hawk
Immature

    Thin streaks on breast
    Rounded tail
    Banded tail, with broad white terminal tail band
    Yellow Eye

  I think I may have identified it -  I wonder if Laura will concur
Title: Re: THE HAPPY MONDAY NOTES
Post by: Laura on March 19, 2012, 08:26:00 PM
That was another thought. Cooper's are medium size. How big was it?

thank you it was sheer luck -- we were on a  road with very little traffic and it flew right next to the window  = the Vixter gets credit for the better shots

I have consulted our Peterson Field Guide and think it's a Northern Harrier.  Richard and I entertain ourselves on our way to and from Lima on Sundays by seeing how many hawks we can spot perched along the highway.  You and The Vixter were very lucky to get such a good view.  Great pictures!

maybe  a foot tall - when it flew across the road we were impressed by it's wing span , definitely much smaller than a canadian goose though

Was it flying through the trees?

it was sitting on a telephone wire when we first spotted it  - there was the remains of some animal on the road that had apparently been struck by a car right  by where he was sitting  then after I photographed it , it flew across the road in front of us and landed in the tree right next to Vixter's open window - after these photos it flew off and we saw not where
Title: Re: THE HAPPY MONDAY NOTES

I see a red tail on the second photo. A Cooper's often flies through the forest. Although we've had one that flies over our house lately.
