Some of Small's work does nothing for me, but this one really stuck out...it has a 5+ min. main title, quite gorgeous and more mysterioso scoring throughout. Robert Wise' film is also quite well spotted, using Small's music at the best times, and never overbearingly.
So what else is out there by Small worth hearing? He spoke of a possible promo in the future, when interviewed in a recent soundtrack mag(can't recall which one)....any word on that? If Audrey Rose is included, count me in....

Great stuff, add this to the promo

The whole score is very ambiguous, and would be interesting to study sometime...it really balances warmth, sterility, and fear surprisingly well. It's hard to put my finger on it, but Small tips the scales very slightly in key scenes, making it hard to know how to react. This is real filmmaking, that makes you think, unlike the films now that lead you by the hand every moment.

There was a sequel to Stepford Wives called, I think, Revenge of the Stepford Wives. Pretty silly movie compared to the original. Again, it deals with controlling those uppity feminist women who think for themselves. Gasp! Sometimes when women meet another lady who is very submissive and jumps to meet her hubby's wishes, we refer to her as a, "typical stepford wife." That term has become part of our language.

It would be interesting to see what a female screenwriter would do with a Stepford Husband concept. Let's see. They'd deplore the remote control, love to work all day and then cook and clean at night, and of course, they'd adore shopping!
