The General Electric Theatre must have happened later in Williams carrer. I know that several sources give this date, but at the time Williams was at the army. The show run for several years, so my guess is that Williams worked on it in the late 50's or early 60's

Seems to be missing a few things like Flashing Spikes, heartwood, treesong and more.

Alawill,

Your list does look pretty comprehensive! However, there is some question as to whether the film Stark Fear (1961) has music by John Williams, or perhaps I should say music by the John Williams.

I have never seen the film but was curious as to why it appeared on some lists of complete works but not on others. I therefore e-mailed the webmaster at the John Williams web pages (Jeff Eldridge?) a few months ago posing this question. He kindly responded to say that he had seen the film recently and although there is a music credit for someone called John Williams (in addition to that of the composer of most of the score whose name escapes me) , he thought it extremely unlikely that it was our Johnny. I wonder if anyone else here has seen this obscure film?

One film possibly missing from your list is Flashing Spikes, a 1962 TV short directed by none other than John Ford and starring James Stewart. It was Ford's only TV movie and is about baseball. Again, I have not seen it but I have seen the music credited to John Williams. Can anyone else confirm that this is our Johnny?

I have a copy of it.

And good look up Williams on imdb.com that should list any more that might be missing.

General Electric Theatre? the year probably refers to when the show was started rather than when Williams worked on it.

Flashing Spikes.

Of the film or of the score? Has it been released? Or is it a single track in a compilation? Or what? ;)

Regarding Flshing Spikes, I was told that this was in fact a Alcoa Theatre episode. Can this be confirmed?

Hm... the imdb.com is not able to help in this point... but it´s the same year (1961) - oh sorry not at all, nearly the same year (1961/62)...

You can compare it to the list I made for the old site. It includes original compositions and film & TV works as performer, arranger and orchestrator.http://jwfan.net/jwfan-old/completeworks/main.htm

Great, thanks for putting that up. It'll be a little easier than reading Miguel's site which is in Portuguese (I can't read Portuguese).
