Thor 7,458 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I made a rip of the opening 4 minutes, which doesn't have any dialogue, just a few sound effects. This was a Spanish dub (sadly), so you'll hear the narrator say the film's title in Spanish at some point. Really wonderful music that should get a release!http://www.celluloidtunes.net/non-website/plainsman.mp3 Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,235 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks, Thor, that's better than the version I taped off the TV a few years ago using my headphones as a makeshift microphone!There's some really fine underscore later in the film too, especially the bit where the cavalry rides into an Indian ambush in a canyon. There are also some nice trumpet solos throughout the score. This and The Rare Breed are now my two most wanted Williams releases that have never had a commercial release of any sort (notwithstanding the pretty good Silva Screen suite of the latter).By the way, the woman who plays Calamity Jane in this wanted shooting. She gives a truly unbearable performance and that in a film that boasts a blacked up Simon Oakland as the chief and Leslie Nielsen sporting a ZZ Top beard as General Custer.

Thor 7,458 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 He, he...yeah, Nielsen was hilarious as the general. The Jane character was indeed unbearable....especially when dubbed to Spanish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It is wonderful to hear how Williams' style and voice were as distinctive as ever even back then although he just had to refrain from writing music of this type for his fluffy and hare brained comedies. Great robust and lively music. Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Great, thanks a lot for sharing!I wish Williams would have done more westerns. The few ones he did are so entertaining Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I recently received this film. Haven't had the time to go through it, but if it sounds any better than the version Thor posted, I'll upload it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie 1 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's a nice little score. JW was "forced" to use the then popular choir for the Main Titles, which have a kind of a Lavagnino vibe.The movie, like Sergeant Ryker and Nightmare in Chicago, was made-for-tv, and later shown in cinemas.

Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I finally got around checking this one. My copy his the real thing, not dubbing in here, but the sound isn't as crisp on Thor's. If anyone's willing to tell me how to post this samples in the forum, I'll add my rip tomorrow.

filmmusic 1,822 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I made a rip from the opening 4,5 minutes from an official PAL DVD. I guess, this should be the best source available. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1J99hjlmHzm Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,458 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yes, I saw it over on FSM, K. Great job; I think it's slightly better than the one I uploaded (or the same), but that is no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted March 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sounds better than other previous sources, but it's still a rip from DVD or cable broadcast. Thor, 1977 and Omen II 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,458 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thanks, M. Yes, just a tad bit better than my own rip, I'd say. And it doesn't contain the dubbing guy saying the title in Spanish, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
