John C: Sorry Rome was so packed with people that you couldn't get to the Coliseum or the Vatican. It's always best to avoid being there at weekends and I find major attractions tend to be less crowded in the afternoons - all the tour groups seem to visit early morning when it's very busy. When I first went to Rome in 1975 I found a massive queue for the Vatican and it took hours to get in. Last time I went in July in 2008 there was no queue at all during mid-week, late afternoon - walked straight in.

Good morning, all! I've been tied up snce 7 with a long email, and I am now ready to head down to Toyland and finish up these orchestra parts. Tomorrow and Tuesday I am tied up with the final mix of EILEEN, so this is my lasy chance t have everything on DEAREST ENEMY off my back. I'd like to cart them to Fed Ex on Wednesday and ship them off.

I have nothing else to report, but I will check in from Toyland.

Well after all the talk here on HHW - and all of the buzz about the title.....I decided I would watch a very famous HHW movie discussed here at length....

Yes last night I watched.....

LURE OF THE SWAMP.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2012, 06:05:34 AM »

There was a lot of swamp in the first 10 minutes.....but I watched only about 30 minutes of it, and there wasn't much lure.

Marshall Thompson had a very annoying girl friend - he slapped her and she pulled a rifle out on him and fired at the trees.....then some blonde girl from the big city needed Marshall to take her to the swamp so she could take photos for her national publication magazine....and she kept hanging around, too.

And then there were the bank robbers and the missing $290,000. Willard Parker got his picture in the local paper after he got his neck slashed.....and he had been the first person to make Marshall take him into the swamp....and Willard had a suitcase....and made Marshall stay behind while he hid something. HOWEVER because Willard Parker is billed so high in the movie, I can't believe he is really dead.....so he probably comes back toward the end of the movie....if I ever decide to watch the rest of it.

Marshall did a scene like they usually do for lady actresses.....where he went out on the dock and the camera panned down to his feet and then he took off his clothes and dived into the swamp......where he said there were gators, but I didn't see any in the first 30 minutes.

So - LURE OF THE SWAMP may be a classic of its kind....but I will have to see the rest of it before I say anything else......oh....and most everyone has a southern accent of one kind or another.

Good morning, world. Stayed up to all hours, and then some, reading. Turned in just as the first cows could be heard making their way home.

COFFEE!

Greetings from Toyland! Mozart's "Litanies" is my Sunday morning listening. I hope to be out of here by noon.

How different are the Mancini soundtrack recordings and his re-recordings?

So, BK, I just so happen to know a drag performer. If I suggest your song to him, do you require payment of some kind? How does he get the music? He does his own singing. (Or should that be she?)

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2012, 07:20:47 AM »

I was wrong...Willard Parker never came back.....BUT the last 10 minutes of LURE OF THE SWAMP made up for the 55 minutes that went before....there was a fine ending.....but still no gators.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2012, 07:44:46 AM »

I have willingly read the spoilers, and look forward to a showing of LURE OF THE SWAMP when my copy arrives. Must decide on a good suitable second feature.

So what exactly WAS the lure of the swamp?

Sunday morning greetings! No trip to Lima for me today, because I spent most of the night feeling slightly nauseous. Don't know if I ate something "off" or what, but it's a little better now.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:45:03 AM »

I did indeed finish before noon. Everything is ready to ship, and I guess I'll head for home.

Shayne, the original tracks contain the actual score cues - for his albums Mancini rearranged the music for a more "pop" listening experience. That said, the original tracks contain a lot of the easy listening sound - he used those cues for his albums, but because the label that put these out adheres to the film sequence, a lot of those are in a row - it's okay for Charade, sort of, but not for Hatari.

bk · « **Reply #26 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:54:07 AM »

Laura, there's no fee for doing the song - the other two used the recording - there's no real way to get the music unless I send it, which I'm happy to do.

KevinH · « **Reply #27 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:57:15 AM »

Hot today in the DC area--around 90, but only in the low 80's during the week.

Laura · « **Reply #28 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:58:22 AM »

Thanks, BK. He sometimes asks for suggestions for new songs. I'll suggest that one to him. Or her.
