Hollywood Goes To War

Amazon.co.uk The Hollywood-isation of History was never more overt than toward the wars America fought. With the subtitle "Music from the Great American War Films", this collection gloriously exacerbates the exaggeration only a movie can get away with--and it does it with loud patriotic pride for the longest section in the chronology presented as history passes through the First and Second World War. Here you'll find Jerry Goldsmith hits: The Blue Max ; In Harm's Way ; Macarthur ; and Patton . Also John Williams greats: Midway , Saving Private Ryan , Schindler's List , and Empire of the Sun . Other composers' bugle calls include: Max Steiner ( Sergeant York ; and The Caine Mutiny ); Elmer Bernstein ( The Great Escape ; and The Bridge At Remagen ); and Jerome Moross ( The Sharkfighters ; and The Mountain Road ). The American Civil War is touched upon earlier with: ( Gettysburg ; Friendly Persuasion ; and Glory ); and afterwards fast retreats are sounded for The Korean War ( MASH ), The Vietnam War ( Platoon , Born On the Fourth of July , and Casualties of War ), and The Cold War ( Dr. Strangelove , Rambo , and The Hunt For Red October ). The composers' styles may differ (all nicely interpreted by the City of Prague), but the mission remains the same; this is music to honour those who fought for our future--fictional or otherwise. --Paul Tonks
