Film Score from "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1936)

composed by Max Steiner

This video took me FOREVER to put together! As you may have noticed I LOVE films from Hollywood's Golden Age and I especially love old Adventure films with dreamy heroes, beautiful damsels in distress, "exotic" (often California) locations, and powerful music. The '36 version of the Charge of the Light Brigade is more inaccurate than most films but because of the previously mentioned reasons I still love it ^_^

Mother, Mother from "Death of a Scoundrel"

composed by Max Steiner

This music is from one of my all time favorite films. It's definitely very "Hollywoodized" (everyone gets their just deserts in the end) but George Sanders performance (and deliciously deep voice) grab your attention as do the performances by Zsa Zsa Gabor and Yvonne De Carlo. As you listen to the eastern european strains in the music you can almost hear the Czech Clementi Sabourin (played by Sanders) begging for his mother's forgiveness for his transgressions including the death of his brother.
