YouTube video by ScoreGuy1980 Jerry Goldsmith; Royal Albert Hall - TV Themes suite

When Jerry Goldsmith worked up a concert series, one part consisted of his TV themes. Because of deadlines, he sought help from a friend, Morton Stevens, to do the arrangements. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVBt...

My favorite is From Russia With Love. It's a superior adaptation of one of Fleming's best novels. It's pretty faithful for 2/3 of the film. Connery is in fine form. Overall, it's a good look into the special world that Fleming created.

A version is on YouTube. The titles are in (I think) German but the soundtrack is in English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWKZ...

There is a *fourth* version. A black-and-white print was made of the color pilot with the Solo title. Attached was a short video with Robert Vaughn explaining the UNCLE format. It was likely aimed at network executives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oex...

Broadcast version (Waverly edited in) but it's a close call. The Luciana Paluzzi footage (mostly) shows up in a TV episode titled The Four-Steps Affair, except Solo and Angela don't sleep together.

I know. But World of Reel overwrote it. And fans are reacting to World of Reel without hearing the original.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: In 1962, Charles K. Feldman approached Howard Hawks about directing Casino Royale. What it might have been like: web.archive.org/web/20130729...

That's what I took away from it. Also, I erred. Kroll is with Deadline. I think he used to be with Variety. Anyway, if Kroll had firmer information, I think he would have done a story for his employer.
