It would be difficult to imagine A Place in the Sun without its brilliant Franz Waxman score, distinguished by what is surely one of film music"s most beautiful and exquisite main themes. The heart and soul of Waxman"s score is "Vickers Theme," and it recurs throughout the score in many guises. It"s a stunning theme and one that captures the essence of the film with sublime perfection. But all of Waxman"s music for the film is sublime - there"s really not much more to say than that because the proof is in the hearing. This is film music as film music is meant to be - not padding, not filler, not sound design - film music designed to underscore the images on screen, the characters, the drama.This world premiere release of the surviving "A Place in the Sun" music masters stored in the Paramount vaults - augmented by a couple of cues from the music and effects tracks - adds up to over fifty-one minutes of glorious music. Several cues are in the original form in which they were written by Waxman, and some are the re-scored versions. A PLACE IN THE SUN is limited to 1000 copies only
