Hi-Jacked (1950) Based on those titles, I'd say he did a lot of westerns, horror and sci-fi movies.
But I can't find anything about this guy, other than a few quick notes here and there. I'm guessing not a lot of people know this composer.

Wistisi, I don't have any biographical info on Paul Dunlap, but he seemed to do ultra-cheapo things. That doesn't automatically mean bad music (in many cases quite the reverse), but I always felt that if any composer could push a corny film into the realms of the hilarious, then Dunlap was the man. I remember seeing some late 60s science fiction movie, with Michael Rennie earning his retirement as a time traveller or something, in which the blaring music was so over the top that it actually made the film watchable. Or more unwatchable, one of the two.Hey, I hope Paul Dunlap isn't reading this! Anyway, anyone know of any GOOD Dunlap scores?

I'm fond of Dunlap's scores to The Steel Helmet, Target Earth, and the Lost Continent (I actually have a studio tape of about 20 minutes of this score).

Thanks to both of you.It would appear than no one knows about any commercial releases of his music. (Not surprising I guess, given the movies he composed for.)
