ウィリアム・シャトナー主演、B級映画の帝王と呼ばれるロジャー・コーマンが手がけた唯一の社会派ドラマ「侵入者」のオリジナル・サウンドトラック。さらに同じハーマン・スタインが初めて映画音楽を担当した短編映画「Career For Two」(1951)のサウンドトラック、師匠マリオ・カステルヌーヴォ・テデスコの為に書いた組曲(新録音)と未発表楽曲を追加収録。限定3000枚。

南部の小さな町にやってきたアダム・クレイマーは、礼儀正しく白いスーツに身を包んだ紳士だった。だが彼は白人至上主義者であり、町に広がりつつある黒人差別撤廃の動きに異を唱え始めた。「このままでは町長も警官もすべて黒人になってしまう」という彼のアジテーションが、そこに住む白人たちの心を動かした。彼らは黒人の車の通行を妨げ、火を付けた十字架を立て、そしてついには黒人牧師のいる教会にダイナマイトを投げ入れてしまう。もはやアダムの手にも負えない状況になっていた。
監督:ロジャー・コーマン、出演: ウィリアム・シャトナー、フランク・マクスウェル。1962年米。

This archival release focuses on the film music of legendary composer Herman Stein. After his Universal-International tenure, during which time he wrote music for such classic sci-fi thrillers as It Came From Outer Space, Creature From the Black Lagoon, This Island Earth, and Tarantula, Stein was hired to compose the score for Roger Corman’s The Intruder ? a hard-hitting film about Southern racism. Known as the only Corman picture to lose money, 1962’s The Intruder is the finest film that Corman ever produced, and its failure at the box-office was due entirely to its touchy subject matter and the lack of a promotional campaign.The Intruder cover

Starring a young William Shatner as a mysterious figure who fights integration in a small town by stirring up a racist mob, this superb motion picture elicited a powerful score from Stein, who captures the drama from all sides of the clash. At times lyrical, at other times thunderously aggressive, this is an extremely enjoyable orchestral score. Also included are three source music cues composed by Stein, featuring a combo comprising ace jazz musicians like Benny Carter and Buddy Collette. In addition to every cue heard in the picture, this CD contains music cut from the film.

The Intruder (and other music by Herman Stein) [MMM-1956] also includes the composer’s first film score, the delightful Career For Two. This short 1951 industrial film about savings banks contains a brief-but -highly-enjoyable score by Stein, one so good that upon hearing it, Universal-International’s music director Joseph Gershenson immediately hired the composer to work at the studio.

Filling out the CD are a number of unreleased cues from various film projects, as well as a new recording: the world premiere of “Suite For Mario.” Stein composed this brilliant four-movement solo piano work in 1948 for his composition teacher, the renowned Mario Castelnuovo -Tedesco, and this is a rare chance to hear a classical work from the great film composer. “Suite For Mario” is a new stereo recording performed by award-winning pianist Brian Farrell. All of the other music on this CD is in original monophonic sound. As with all MMM releases, the cover features specially-commissioned art by Robert Aragon.

This special release is limited to only 3,000 copies!
