    A video in the Hammer Collection, the 1952 Terence Fisher film Four Sided Triangle, has a great score by Malcolm Arnold. I'm beginning to think this guy could do no wrong.

    Mine Own Executioner, a 1947 film with Burgess Meredith, often shows on A&E. It's in the public domain so there are a number of different videos of it around. It has a score by Benjamin Frankel worth listening to.

    I picked up a CD of Voodoo! (aka Percussion Exotique on the Tops label), a lounge/exotica album composed by Robert Drasnin who composed cues for The Man From UNCLE and Wild Wild West. The pianist for the disc is none other than John T. Williams.

    Also picked up a copy of a Bernstein Jazz LP, Blues and Brass (anybody have an idea what this might be worth?). The cover is designed by Saul Bass and there is about 40 minutes of music similar to Staccato and Golden Arm. I ran into another Bernstein Jazz album a while ago, Paris Swings, with 3 tracks composed by EB and the rest composed by others. I had no idea either existed. Bernstein conducted an album of music from Brando films. And there is the Film & TV album on Ava that was reissued on CD twice--the last time on Mainstream. Are there any other 50s Bernstein jazz/theme albums out there?

    Speaking of Bernstein--I just learned that he scored one of the episodes of The American Short Story series produced in 1971, The Tell Tale Heart. It should be available on video still. The same goes for Four Days in November, a documentary on the Kennedy assassination, it's on video and has an Elmer Bernstein score.

    And speaking of video, an animated short available on video, The Peachboy, has a score by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
