Newman provided a bounty of themes in the Wagnerian "leitmotif" tradition, with memorable signatures for the film's hero, villain and love interests, and a noble hymn for the mythical country of Ruritania. Directed by the studio's Richard Thorpe and co-starring Deborah Kerr, Louis Calhern, James Mason and Jane Greer, the 1952 picture (in color) featured fine M-G-M production values and was well received and reviewed, if not regarded as highly as the '37 version.The 1937 Selznick film had been scored by Alfred Newman, then music director for Samuel Goldwyn, who would soon compose such legendary efforts as Gunga Din and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Granger proposed a "scene-by-scene" remake to offset the costs of Selznick's fee.

IMDBConrad Salinger (1901-1962) was one of the architects of the classic M-G-M musicals sound—he was a longtime staff arranger at the studio and is widely hailed as one of the finest ever to work in the movies. Just a sampling of his work as a composer includes How Green Was My Valley, Captain From Castile, All About Eve, The Robe and The Diary of Anne Frank. His influence as a composer and executive cannot be overstated he invented the "Newman System" of synchronizing music to picture and is the patriarch of the Newman family of composers and musicians (Lionel, Randy, David, Thomas and others). The complete recording for the 1952 version (master tapes do not survive for Newman's 1937 recording) is presented on this CD, in the best possible monaural sound (stereo masters no longer exist).Alfred Newman (1901-1970) is one of the most important figures in the history of movie music, a nine-time Oscar winner (with 45 nominations overall) who was head of music at Twentieth Century-Fox in the 1940s and '50s. Salinger, who worked on the finest musicals of Hollywood's Golden Age, faithfully applied Newman's score to the new film.
