Intrada Premieres Scores for "Flying Machines," "Wrongfully Accused"

Intrada Premieres Scores for “Flying Machines,” “Wrongfully Accused”

March 8, 2011 By Mike Duquette — No Comments

Intrada’s first releases for March involve two premiere score releases from two very different eras – a roadshow flick from the ’60s and an action satire from the late ’90s.

First up is Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, a 1965 ensemble comedy from England starring luminaries including Benny Hill, Terry-Thomas and Red Skelton. Ron Goodwin’s light, poppy theme went on to have some success as a pop single, although the resultant album was an odd one, featuring music and dialogue in either mono or stereo offerings – although on either release, the music was monaural! This release, limited to 2,000 copies, presents the complete, expansive roadshow version of the score in stereo from the original session elements at 20th Century Fox.

And then there’s Wrongfully Accused, a satirical take on The Fugitive written and directed by Pat Proft (co-writer of the Naked Gun and Hot Shots! films). Despite the broad parody throughout the film, Bill Conti – he of the Rocky franchise – delivers a straight action score with a distinctive, malleable theme. The complete score, released for the first time, is limited to 1,500 copies.

Both sets are available now; order links and track lists are after the jump!
