Kritzerland is proud to present a world premiere limited edition soundtrack release - two great scores on one great CD:
HUD
Music Composed and Conducted by Elmer Bernstein
and
THE LONELY MAN
Music Composed and Conducted by Nathan Van Cleave
THE MAN WITH THE BARBED WIRE SOUL
Based on the 1961 novel Horseman, Pass By by Larry McMurtry (The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment), Hud featured a powerhouse cast - including Newman, Melvyn Douglas, Patricia Neal and Brandon de Wilde. With a great screenplay by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr., direction by Martin Ritt, and striking black-and-white photography by the brilliant James Wong Howe, Hud leaps off the screen from first frame to last. Bosley Crowther’s review in The New York Times was typical, trumpeting Hud as the year’s “most powerful film.” The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won three - for Best Actress (the superb Patricia Neal), Best Supporting Actor (Melvyn Douglas) and Best Cinematography (James Wong Howe).
Elmer Bernstein’s score for Hud runs approximately six minutes, making it one of the shortest film scores ever. But what a six minutes it is - in fact, it’s perfection and just right for the film. Bernstein recorded his six minutes twice: once with a 12-piece ensemble, and then, a week later, re-orchestrated (by Bob Bain) for three guitars. Presumably the revision was at Ritt’s request for a smaller and even more intimate sound - which really was the right choice. The music is sparse, yes, but it’s potent every time it appears. There’s also some source music in the film - car radios, jukeboxes, records.
For this first ever release of the score to Hud, we present not only the film version of the score, but also the alternate version scored for chamber orchestra, as well as some source music cues and Bernstein’s work for the trailer. It was a wonderful discovery to find it on the session masters housed in the Paramount vaults, and the tapes were in excellent condition.
In looking for something to pair with Hud, we found a truly beautiful score by Nathan Van Cleave for the 1957 western The Lonely Man. Starring Jack Palance and Anthony Perkins (with a great supporting cast of character actors including Elisha Cook Jr., Robert Middleton, Neville Brand, Claude Akins and Lee Van Cleef), The Lonely Man is a stark and somber western about a former gunslinger and his attempts to do something for the son who hates him and from whom he’s been estranged for years. Well directed by Henry Levin (April Love, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Where the Boys Are, The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm) and stunningly photographed in VistaVision and black-and-white by Lionel Lindon, The Lonely Man may not be well known today, but it’s a solid film and one well worth seeking out.
Nathan Van Cleave’s score is a major discovery, as you’ll hear on this CD. Van Cleave had been at Paramount for years, orchestrating some of their biggest hits. But he was also an expert composer, and over the years he turned in wonderful scores for such films as The Colossus of New York, The Space Children and Robinson Crusoe on Mars, and provided music for such classic TV shows as The Twilight Zone, Wagon Train, Have Gun - Will Travel, Perry Mason and I Spy.
For The Lonely Man, Van Cleave came up with a beautiful main theme, for which Jack Brooks provided lyrics; Tennessee Ernie Ford sings the song in the film. The score has real depth and its secondary themes are dramatic, elegiac and poignant, giving the film a strong spine. The Lonely Man is a world premiere release on CD and is presented complete from tapes housed in the Paramount vaults. A few cues were taken from the music stem. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering this really terrific music.

廃盤商品。世界初リリースとなるポール・ニューマン主演の西部劇「ハッド」（エルマー・バーンスタイン）とジャック・パランス、アンソニー・パーキンス主演の西部劇「ロンリーマン」のサウンドトラックをカップリング収録！限定1000枚。エルマー・バーンスタインが作曲した「ハッド」のスコアはなんとたった６分で最も短いフィルムスコアのひとつ。今回はその６分のフィルムスコアとその室内楽でのバージョン違い、ソースミュージックを収録。「ロンリーマン」はパラマウント映画の倉庫で発見されたマスターテープから完全収録。美しいメインテーマを収録した素晴らしいネイサン・ヴァン・クリーヴのスコア。
トラックリスト『ハッド』・・・牧場を営む一家で理解者のいない若者の空虚な心を描いた西部ドラマ。監督は『ノーマ・レイ』のマーティン・リット。テキサスで牧場を営むバノン一家の息子ハッド。３０代で独身の彼は、夜になると町へ繰り出し酒と女に入り浸っていた。一方、一代で大牧場を築き上げた父ホーマーとは、イマイチ折りが合わないでいる。そんなある日、飼い牛に病気が発生、政府の殺戮令に親子は衝突してしまう。そして、これを機に牧場主の名義を自分にしようとするハッドに対し、彼がかつて実の兄を無謀運転で死なせたことを忘れられないホーマーは、それをはじめとしたこれまでのハッドに対する冷たい感情の原因をついに吐露し、親子の溝を深めていく…。出演：ポール・ニューマン、 メルヴィン・ダグラス。1962年米。
『ロンリーマン』・・・「アマゾンの半魚人」のハリー・エセックスとロバート・スミスの書きおろしシナリオを「覆面の騎士」のヘンリー・レヴィンが監督した西部劇。拳銃男として恐れられているジェイコブ・ウェイド（ジャック・パランス）が14年ぶりに帰ってきた。ジェイコブ帰るの報せに復讐の眼を光らせるのは賭博師キング（ネヴィル・ブランド）とその手下。キングは、かつてモノリスの賭博師ボナンザでジェイコブと射ち合い、危うく一命を落とすところだった。14年ぶりで帰ったジェイコブに町の人々は冷たい眼を向け、亡き妻との間に生れた1人息子ライリー（アンソニー・パーキンス）さえ頑なな反抗心を打ちつけてきた。それというのも、昔レッド・クリフ一帯が旱魃に襲われた時ジェイコブは渇え死寸前の家畜に水をやろうとして柵を破り、阻止しようとした保安官を射殺して町を出てしまった。後に残されたジェイコブの妻とライリーは殺人犯の家族として白眼視され、希望を失った妻は投身自殺を遂げるといういきさつがあった。唯一残されたライリーは一途に父を恨んでいた。ジェイコブは堅気の生活を始めようとした。が土地の顔役の反対にあい、嫌がるライリーの連れ旅に出た。何日か後に2人はモノリスの牧場に到着、ジェイコブが賭博場で知合った女エイダ（エレーヌ・エーキン）の小屋に落着いた。ジェイコブを愛するエイダは喜んで迎えた。この牧場での生活中、ライリーは、父が自分の考えていたような悪人ではないことを知り、その気質を理解するようになった。エイダの口から、ジェイコブが彼女をかばうためモノリスの賭博場でキングを射ったことも知った。やがてライリーは1人前に成長、牧場の方も馬が揃ったのでジェイコブはエイダに結婚を申込んだ。エイダは結婚の支度を整えようとモノリスの町へ行った。が、賭博場でキングに出会い、彼の一味がジェイコブを待構えていることを知った。牧場に帰ったエイダは一味の計画を話し安全な所へ逃げようと勧めたがジェイコブは答えず、単身賭博場に乗り込んだ。決戦はその夜行なわれた。が、若い時代のジェイコブと違って今のジェイコブは衰えた視力をどうすることもできなかった。駈けつけたライリーの助けでキングを倒したが自らも相手の弾丸に倒れた。...1956年米。
