Caboblanco (1980) / music by Jerry Goldsmith




Bronson! Goldsmith!! Caboblanco!!! 192kbs!!!!

The film is one of Bronson's more obscure flicks, impossible to find now that the golden age of videocassettes is behind us (even second hand, used videos are a thing of the past). Consensus around the net is that the flick pretty much sucks, but that didnt stop Jerry Goldsmith from crafting one of his greatest scores (yeah, i said it).

The main title theme alone is a beaut, incorporating a latin amercan sound (and establishing the locale of the film). From there, goldsmith weaves bits of the old chestnut "The Very Thought of You" throughout parts of the score, creating a very romantic atmospehere (as the film is a pastiche i.e. rip-off of Casablanca, I guess this is the attempt to top "You Must Remember This" from that earlier film...).

I wanna see the film (1) cuz its Bronson and its a Bronson film I havent seen and every Bronson film must be seen once; and (2) I wanna see how this score is used in the film.

If you have seen this film and wanna share your thoughts, I would love to hear about the film...

Here now is Bronson! Goldsmith!! Caboblanco!!! 192bks!!!!
