Our year-long Keeping the Score series continues on October 22nd with the gorgeously shot melodrama THE GHOST & MRS> MUIR. ๐—š๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€: amblertheater.org/specials
๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ: Joseph L. Mankiewiczโ€™s second film is a wistful supernatural romance that pairs together Rex Harrison and the luminous Gene Tierney. Determined to independently build a new life with her daughter, an Edwardian-era widow moves into an isolated seaside cottage once owned by an ornery sea captain. With an unforgettable sweeping score from Bernard Herrmann and breathtaking black-and-white cinematography from Charles Lang, experiencing this classic on the big screen is not to be missed. Also starring George Sanders, Edna Best, and an 8-year-old Natalie Wood.
๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ: Bernard Herrmann, best known for his iconic collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock and work on classic films like Taxi Driver and Citizen Kane, enjoyed a long and varied career. THE GHOST AND MRS MUIR benefited greatly from the composerโ€™s versatility. As the story itself blends genre elements of horror, melodrama, and romance, Herrmannโ€™s score nimbly shifts its tenor to suit whatever mood each individual scene calls for. The result is a musical accompaniment that unifies director Joseph L. Mankiewiczโ€™s ambitious tonal melange, selling both the terror and allure of Rex Harrisonโ€™s grizzled phantom. THE GHOST AND MRS MUIR is a unique gem of romantic fantasy, and it would not have so been without Herrmannโ€™s score.
๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Be it a gentle piano interlude or a glorious orchestral fanfare, no element of filmcraft sets a movieโ€™s tone and identity quite like the musical score. Film music has the power to underline a filmmakerโ€™s narrative ideas, forge our bond to a heroic character, and move us to the point of tears. Join us all year long as we showcase cinemaโ€™s iconic composers whose musical talents enrich the images we see on screen and have us humming their unforgettable melodies as we exit the auditorium.
