Hunters Are For Killing (1970), Jerry Fielding, auf 2000 Stück limitierte CD mit 24 Tracks und 55:31 Minuten Laufzeit. Soundtrack for a TV-movie with Burt Reynolds and Suzanne Pleshette. Limited to 2000 pieces! - Infos vom Label: "Jerry Fielding carved out a special niche for himself in the 1970s, scoring numerous films with strong, masculine protagonists fighting both inner and outer demons. His intensely personal and idiosyncratic style-informed by concert-hall modernism as well as his own jazz background-was a perfect musical foil for films by Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs), Michael Winner (Lawman, The Mechanic) and Clint Eastwood (The Outlaw Josey Wales). Leading off that series of iconic scores, however, was Fielding"s little-known music for a telefilm which debuted on CBS on March 12, 1970. Starring Burt Reynolds, Suzanne Pleshette and Melvyn Douglas, Hunters Are for Killing mixed elements of film noir (an ex-con revisiting his past and unjustly accused of murder) with more standard dramatic entanglements. Fielding"s score practically gushes with imagination: it integrates lush romantic strings (a throwback to his sunnier 1960s scores like Advise & Consent), a plaintive "Americana" theme voiced by solo accordion, delightful source cues, and even his own trademark "laughing trombones" (which many fans will recognize from Star Trek"s "The Trouble with Tribbles"). The uptempo main theme is the same mixed-meter jazz piece that he used as the theme to Matt Helm (1975 telefilm) and The Big Sleep (1978). Virtually unknown, Hunters Are for Killing is a terrific Fielding score that will thrill his fans." - Quelle: soundtrack-club
