Here is a new one for all you fans.Two films done by UI in 1952 had music tracked in portions of the films by Salter and Rozsa.
1. Redball Express, with Jeff Chandler, about the army and truck resupply in the war has a scene where the trucks are trying to get through artillery rounds landing all around them. They are trying to get supplies and fuel through. The scene has music playing from Salter's great score:
A. The Wolfman-1940-"The Killing" or wolfman attacks cue
B. The Mummy's Hand-1940-Princess Annaka's theme
C. The Ghost of Frankenstein-1942-monster on the rampage cue
D. Black Friday-1939-car chase cue
E. Manmade Monster-1940-theme for the dogThe second film is UI's Duel at Silver Creek, a western with Audie Murphy. It has portions of Rozsa's score in some of the latter scenes in the movie. Which score?
A. The Killers-1947-main theme
B. Men of the Fighting Lady-Blind Flight sequence
C. Diane-love theme
D. Brute Force-1946-part of the background score
E. Command Decision-1948-B-17s attack GermanyGood luck. John.

Well, OF COURSE the Skinner cue is the dog theme from ManMade Monster. And the Rozsa piece is from Brute Force.But the truth is I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA! Do I get a bronze at least?

Graham, you actually got the Silver Star, because Brute Force is correct. Prison violence music for a western???? Yep that is correct. The other one, try again, John.
