In the previous installment
of Mining for Goldsmith I took a look
at film composer Jerry Goldsmith’s work for the Western genre. One genre that
was always cranking out movies is the conspiracy and espionage genre. Some of
these were deadly serious, and others were more lighthearted and even a bit
silly.
In Like Flint (1967)
Capricorn One (1978)
Another wonderful rerecording for Prometheus records of Goldsmith's score, this time from the forgotten film The Salamander.
With Flint, the music alone sounds like a Bond parody, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYeah it does. I really wonder how much of that score influenced the one written for "Austin Powers" three decades later. The two scores for the Flint series are really a lot of fun, and show off a side of Goldsmith that you didn't hear too often.
