Never So Few
by Hugo Friedhofer
7 Women
with
by Elmer Bernstein
Hugo Friedhofer and Elmer Bernstein worked only occasionally at M-G-M,
but each scored a feature film for the studio set in Asia. This CD fea-
tures the premiere releases of Never So Few (1959) and 7 Women
(1966), respectively, each filled with exotic melody and instrumentation.
Never So Fewis a WWII romance/adventure starring Frank Sinatra as the
leader of a U.S. army unit in Southeast Asia. Known as a “Rat Pack”
production (it also starred Peter Lawford) and directed by John
Sturges, the film is perhaps most noteworthy for giving Steve McQueen
his break on the silver screen. Hugo Friedhofer’s score features a
dynamic main title with a throbbing ostinato followed by a mournful
trumpet solo evoking the losses of war. Friedhofer was no stranger to
the war genre and provided a brew of wartime suspense and also
romance, as Sinatra romances the voluptuous Gina Lollobrigida. The
setting is highlighted by enchanting, Thai-flavored colors.
7 Womenis the last film directed by the legendary John Ford. Best known
for his American westerns, Ford attempted an ambitious stretch for
his final production: the story of women missionaries in 1930s China
starring Anne Bancroft, Margaret Leighton and Sue Lyon. Elmer
Bernstein’s haunting score features galloping passages (sounding
akin to a “Chinese western”) but also intelligent and supple scoring of
the conflicting emotions of the women, with saxophone, harpsichord
and flute elegantly spotlighted.
This CD features the premiere releases of the complete underscores for
Never So Fewand 7 Women, remixed in stereo from the original three-
track masters. $19.95 plus shipping

Tribute to a Bad Man
Miklós Rózsa
Miklós Rózsa scored every kind of film during his long and storied
Hollywood career: biblical and historical epic, romance, film
noir, drama, science fiction—and even western. Tribute to a
Bad Man (1956) is his uniquely “Rózsa-esque” take on the
American plains for a CinemaScope “psychological western”
directed by Robert Wise: James Cagney stars as an iron-willed
horse rancher whose vigilante sense of justice threatens to
destroy the personal relationships around him.
Rózsa, far from his native Hungary, claimed to be uncomfortable in
the uniquely American genre, but was more than capable of
concocting the kind of grandiose and melodic strains associ-
ated with the West. His main theme is a sweeping match for
the gorgeous Colorado photography, and his smaller cues
match the characters’ emotions while maintaining a sense of
the 19th-century American frontier.
Rózsa was not entirely on foreign (to him) ground: The female lead in
the movie (Irene Papas) is a Greek immigrant, and Rózsa
adapts a Greek folk song, “Pandrevoun,” to serve as the love
theme, giving him an Eastern European hook in the otherwise
American idiom. As the film takes on an aggressive, psycho-
logical dimension toward its climax, Rózsa utilizes his film noir
style of brooding anxiety, before returning to the American
material in his soaring end title.
Tribute to a Bad Man has long been a favorite score by Rózsa’s
many admirers. It is here presented in its premiere release in
complete form from the original stereo masters. $19.95 plus shipping
