The new Kritzerland release will be available for ordering on the site at six in the morning.  If you want it before then, you know the deal - 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping (23.73) paid via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.


Kritzerland is pleased to present a new world premier limited edition soundtrack CD:

LADY IN A CAGE
Music Composed and Conducted by Paul Glass

In 1962, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? burst forth on movie screens all over the world.  It was a “shocker” and one of the biggest shocks in it was seeing two aging Golden Age screen icons, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, let their hair down and dive into a genre film.  Of course, because it was an unexpected smash hit, the floodgates opened and we soon got all manner of imitations, some good, some bad, and some in-between.  One of the weirdest and the best came in 1964 when Paramount released Lady in a Cage, starring Academy Award-winner Olivia de Havilland, who’d already done one shocker previously the year before, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.  But Lady in a Cage was something wholly other – as nasty as Baby Jane and Charlotte could be, Lady in a Cage was in a whole other universe.

Whoever’s decision it was to hire composer Paul Glass, it was a completely original and inspired choice.  Glass’s score for Lady in a Cage is dissonant, creepy, jagged, and perfectly suited to the film.  There are no real themes here – just music of unsettling atonality that keeps one on the edge of one’s seat and completely off-balance, much like the film’s heroine.  In 1964 it was the polar opposite of most film scores being written but it was absolutely perfect for Lady in a Cage and, for its time, a fairly unique score.  Glass went on to write a classic score for Otto Preminger’s Bunny Lake is Missing and also wrote several terrific scores for the TV series Night Gallery.

Since its release, Lady in a Cage has become something of a cult film.  Even now, coming up on almost fifty years, it still manages to be thoroughly creepy and weird, yet somehow completely entertaining and fun.

 This CD is mastered from the superb-sounding original three-track scoring session masters housed in the vault at Paramount.  We are extremely pleased to present the first Paul Glass film score available on CD.

Lady in a Cage is limited to 1000 copies only.  The price is $19.98, plus shipping.

CD will ship the second week of June  – however, never fear, 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.

Good morning, all! I slept well, and I remember rather vivdly my last dream, which involved a summer theatre production, a costume shop, a film books section of a huge library, a radio show, and being lost in LA while trying to buy 28 lbs of chocolate.

I am back to my taping this morning. I have two rolls of 3/4" artist tape in my bag, and I'll see how far I progress today. I may begin printing the masters of the orchestra parts for Rodgers & Hammerstein while I am at it. Hopefully, while I am at Toyland, the electrician will coem and check out an electrical glitch; the super's been jerking me around for the past two weeks about scheduling this.  Hopefully, when I get back here, my last invoice payment will be waiting for me, or I will be a very unhappy person.

More coffee.

TOD:  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......I was in a play before I ever saw a play......but I guess the first one I officially saw was a production of Agatha Christie's THE MOUSETRAP at the Indiana University Summer Theatre in Bloomington........

I was going through my programs as well and found a couple from Avondale Playhouse (in the Meadows Shopping Center), a kind of tent affair.  Frances Farmer did a few shows there.

This program is for THE BEST MAN by Gore Vidal and featured Lyle Talbot, Hugh Marlowe and his wife K.T. Stevens......to be followed by Jan Sterling in THE MIRACLE WORKER!!!

TOD:

I can't say with any certainliness what was my first theatre-going experience.  The first that I can recall with any vividness is going to see PURLIE on B'way--it was the first show that I remember sitting up and appreciating the singing, dancing and comedy.

TOD: Well i didn't see many plays when i was a kid. But if you include musicals then I remember a few very clearly. I think the first one was CATS with my sister, my mom and my grandmother. That was very memorable for me because my grandmother took us and we went on the stage with all of the cats.

I also remember my parents taking me to see both PHANTOM of THE OPERA and LES MIS on tour. But the musical that made me love musicals was when Chita Rivera toured here in KISS OF THE SPIDERMAN. I was so impressed and mesmerized by her. Loved it. ANd after that i was hooked.

TOD: The first I can remember was a production of "Frankenstein" at Actors Theater of Louisville with a curtain raiser of someone reading/reciting "The Tell-Tale Heart." I remember the pounding of the heart  as he told the tale.

I had been a big "Dark Shadows" fan by then, so it was a wonderful evening.

The first show I clearly remember going to was a production of SOUTH PACIFIC with Macdonald Carey at the Valley Music Hall north of SLC.  The Valley Music Hall was touted as the most luxurious and advanced performance venue in the west when it opened.  It's now a Mormon church (no joke).

BK, those were great reviews! I think I passed one of your colleagues at the Label That Must Not Be Named on the subway steps this morning. There was a large crowd leaving the station as I was trying to get down the steps and someone said hello to me. I think it was he. I said hello amd kept fighting the crowd!
