Well, you've read the notes, the notes were curious, and now it is time for you to post until the curious cows come home.

Just finished reading The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth, the novel which inspired the musical Lucky Stiff. It was a delight from start to finish.

I don't have itchy ankles, but I do wear socks in bed. Have done for many years.

Good morning, all.

I've been awake off and on since 4:30 or thereabouts, so I owe myself a little nap later.

Here's the blurb:

Kritzerland is proud to present a new limited edition world premiere release – four great scores on one CD:

VICTOR YOUNG AT PARAMOUNT VOLUME II

THE PROUD AND PROFANE

FOREVER FEMALE

LITTLE BOY LOST

MY FAVORITE SPY

Music Composed and Conducted by Victor Young

Paramount and Victor Young – one of the greatest studio/composer relationships in history.  Over the course of his career, Victor Young received an astonishing twenty-two Oscar nominations (in 1940 and 1941 he was nominated four times in the same year!). But he would not win the golden statuette during his lifetime – he won the Oscar for Best Music (Dramatic or Comedy Picture) posthumously for Around the World in Eighty Days.  Some of his themes are among the most beloved of all time.  For this CD, we are proud to present four world premiere releases.  They are a diverse gathering that beautifully illustrates how he could write for any kind of story.   

First up is the 1956 Perlberg-Seaton war film, The Proud and the Profane.  The film was directed and written by George Seaton, and starred William Holden, Deborah Kerr and Thelma Ritter.  Young wrote a memorable and beautiful main theme for the drama, which weaves in and out of the score in many guises.   It’s a wonderful score and classic Young.

Next up is the 1953 film Forever Female, starring Ginger Rogers, William Holden, Paul Douglas and Pat Crowley.  This time it’s Victor Young in full-out sparkling mode, beginning with a lilting and lovely waltz that then morphs into some fun big-city music.  The score is like a glass of champagne – bubbly, effervescent and sophisticated.

Also from 1953 we have another George Seaton film, Little Boy Lost, a drama starring Bing Crosby.  It’s a compelling film about a World War II correspondent whose French wife was killed by the Nazis, returning to France after the war to try and find his son. 
Little Boy Lost has a superb Victor Young score, right up there with his best.  Originally there were only three surviving cues from this brilliant score, but in a last-minute bit of serendipity, almost all of it was found and so it’s a real treat to be able to present just about everything from this Victor Young classic.  The score has just about everything that made Victor Young one of the greats. 

Finally we have My Favorite Spy, a great 1951 Bob Hope comedy, directed by Norman Z. McLeod (who also directed the Marx Brothers’ Horse Feathers and Monkey Business). Young’s music suits the film perfectly, underscoring the comedy and intrigue with panache and a grand sense of fun.

All scores have been carefully transferred and restored by Chris Malone from the elements in the Paramount vaults.

Victor Young at Paramount Volume II is limited to 1000 copies only and is priced at $19.98, plus shipping.

CDs will ship by the third week of December, but we’ve been averaging three to five weeks early in terms of shipping ahead of the official ship date.  To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

HA!  This is will be my first Kritzerland release to be paid for by my GoFundMe donation.  I forgot about it for the previous release and paid.....

Oh well!!!

Sounds wonderful!  I like FOREVER FEMALE except for the exaggerated way Ginger Rogers says "allimuny"....she sounds like Ricky Ricardo.

Good morning, all! I am in much discomfort today.  I had a very restless night, thanks to this bum leg, with many strange dreams.  I remember only bits now.

I do remember that between 12:15, when I woke out of a deep sleep, and 2:45, I was wide awake in much pain and unhappiness.

My main dream ended up in a kind of old-ish concert hall -- rather, the surroundings of same -- which would be impossible to describe.  One of my recurring themes.  Wish I could have explored this one more before waking up.

I believe my itchy ankles may be related to neuropathy and diabetes.  There are days when it's unbearable.

Wednesday morning greetings!  Today I have to pick up our turkey and visit Mom.  I'll take her a sneak preview piece of pumpkin pie and give her a heads-up that her granddaughter Laura will be there to visit tomorrow.  Otherwise, I just have to get the living/dining room ready for our small Thanksgiving gathering.

Finishing up Jupiter Ascending. Silly beyond belief. Faux Shakespearean nonsense with some scenery-chewing acting and a one-note performance from Mila Kunis.

Highly recommended for lovers of trash.

I can't find it to read on my Nook, not that I need more books to read.
