Great news for me

I had no idea about this and it's rare to hear a new Star Wars/Spielberg anecdote, especially one as significant as this!

http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-22459886

He was responsible for one of my favourite movies in Whistle Down the Wind, a beautiful coming of age movie starring a very young (before Disney) Haley Mills in which a small group of children disturb an escaped convict hiding in their family's barn who manages to convince them that he's Jesus Christ, taking advantage of their naivety in order to keep them quiet. It's a gentle and touching movie with that extra commentary on top and absolutely recommended if you're too young to remember it.

I need them to release the Blu of this, bring out those deep blacks.

This is the theme to a gameshow. A GAMESHOW!

 

 

As heard in the actual gameshow for those who don't know it:

 

 

 

Never in a million years would we get something of this class played over the opening of a new tv programme thesedays, let alone a gameshow. I still enjoy this particular intro when I catch the show every now and then, it feels wonderfully medieval and doom-mongering! So where have all the GREAT tv themes gone? If you know of any, please share...

 

6:50-7:06

 

The fabled (and stupidly disregarded) missing section.

 

I've never heard strings arranged and played in such a way in any other film score. Within the context of the scene, it's at once terrible, horrible impending doom (read: awesome); and Bee Gees late 70s' disco backing track, rolled into one!

 

Am I imagining and overstating its cue-uniqueness in the Maestro's oeuvre? Is it genuinely completely barking, or something much more normal/common than it seems?
