thx99 1,740 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 well, just temporarily, if anyone is interested in a particular Bluray, he can check the review here, and it says if the Williams related content is HD or SD:http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/reviews.php?show=newreviewsThanks a million for the link, filmmusic!! This looks like it will fit the bill in the interim. From the review of the Saving Private Ryan Sapphire Series Blu-ray (emphasis added):Music and Sound (480p, 15:59) features Composer John Williams speaking on the role of music in the film and how it fits within the realm of the Spielberg/Williams collaborations, while Sound Designer Gary Rydstrom speaks on how the absence of music enhanced the realism of the battle scenes, his research to create the most realistic period sound possible, the process of editing the sounds together, and the construction of the sound design for the film's epic climactic battle in Ramelle.

filmmusic 1,823 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Generally, rarely bonus content concerning the music will be in HD.2 instances are War Horse and Adventures of Tintin.I think all the rest could be SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It will be worth buying for the music heard immediately after the main title (at a railroad station, if I'm not mistaken).I quite like The Rievers suite!it was a particular highlight of JW's 1998 Barbican concerts.

Thor 7,478 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The BR cover for THE REIVERS is rather bad, but the film itself is decent. At some point in the future, when I get some cash flow, I will need to sit down and order all these BluRays. I have all of Williams' films, but either in DVD or file format. Upgrade needed.

John Williams scored a Roland Emmerich film. (unless you're talking about the film itself and not the director)I feel the same way about Alfonso Cuaron, albeit for different reasons. Very different from Williams' usual type of director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,823 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 No Bluray, but the Mystery Science Theater version of Daddy-O (first theatrical film scored by Williams), has been released on DVD from Shout.(personally I don't like these versions of films with comments)http://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Science-Theater-3000-XXXIII/dp/B00VX2208Y/In this version, when Williams' name appears on the screen, they comment:"Oh, no! John Williams, before he heard Stravinsky" Anyway, the "clean version" of the film can also be purchased in this Region B DVD:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Daddy-O-DVD-Dick-Contino/dp/B0006467CU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,323 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Often times mono film mixes are presented as a 2.0 track rather than a 1.0 track so the sounds come out of both your front speakers instead of your center only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's been a few years since I saw it. It's certainly not as iconic as Russ Meyer's sequel (sort of) BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, though, which has become an iconic cult film over the years. The soundtrack is rather "spacey" and dated, and the Williams trademarks in the arrangement are IMO less visible than some of the other arrangement work he did.
