This review is from: Lonely Are The Brave (Audio CD)

Goldsmith's first major motion picture ... and hired on the recommendation of the legendary Alfred Newman, no less! Famous for featuring Kirk Douglas's favorite of his own performances (the actor inscribed in his personal copy of the script "of all the movies I have made, this is my favorite"), Lonely Are The Brave is a poignant and symbolic modern western. Based on Edward Abbey's novel The Brave Cowboy, which was adapted for the screen by Dalton Trumbo, the film tells the sad story of a lone cowboy named Jack Burns (Douglas). Increasingly out of place in the world he lives in, Burns struggles to overcome lost love and cling to times past. Some roads are long indeed. But this one has led to a resolution that now seems so perfectly choreographed and timed. Joining the celebration of what would have been Goldsmith's 80th birthday, and coinciding with the exciting July 7 premiere of the film on DVD, comes this premiere release of the film's historic score. That chapters as important as this one are still being added to Jerry Goldsmith's recorded legacy is nothing short of miraculous. Even on a project as early as this one, we see that Goldsmith was already composing scores that could be described as among the best he ever wrote. Lonely Are The Brave most assuredly is just that. It is arguably his best western score, written for the best western he ever scored. In addition to the complete original score, the album contains a number of cues dropped from the final cut of the film. A Goldsmith classic"
