Guess I will have to pop in my Blu Ray.įinally, there are also some films where the Overture and Entr'Acte are identical ( 2001, Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia.)Īlso the picture quality of films has regressed following the demise of 70mm, which most roadshows were presented in. Really? Ive seen the film many times and I just don't remember that. That's exactly what the Battle of the Bulge Overture conveys. 'there's a struggle in his music, and it is often unresolved'. I love Frankel's gift for creating a sort of brooding, underground, seething discontent as if something's about to 'break through' either psychologically ('Night of the Iguana') or physically ('Battle of the Bulge'): there's a struggle in his music, and it is often unresolved.

The full length score would be a great release for FSM but the film was a co-production between Warner Bros and Cinerama Inc so I suppose that makes music clearance difficult. The complete roadshow version is available on the latest DVD and Blu-ray disc. It ends on a partially unresolved crescendo. The music becomes agitated as the percussion and brass become prominent and take up some of the battle music for the bulk of the 2.30 minutes. The Overture begins as a string ostinato, imparting an air of anticipation and suspense, which gradually increases in intensity as the complete orchestra takes up the original string figure. It relies far less on the main thematic elements from the film than does the Main Title or the Entr’acte or the Exit Music (which is almost a copy of the Main Title).
