I'm happy to let the members know that an interview that I did with
the composer
Miklos Rozsa for public radio station KUT-FM at The University of
Texas at Austin
has been included, in excerpts, in the new Criterion DVD of Alexander
Korda's
THE THIEF OF BAGDAD.
The interview was done in 1975. An associate of mine, Tom DeMary, who is
a huge film fan and film soundtrack fan, introduced me to Dr. Rozsa, and
set up the interview. Rozsa went into a studio in Santa Monica and I was
recorded in Austin. For many years, I thought this interview was lost
when station personnel inadvertently bulk erased some programs I had
produced. But Tom had an additional air check copy. The originals were
given to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, where digital
masters of the tapes were made. The Academy were kind enough to provide
CD copies
Tom suggested we offer the recording to Criterion and they decided to
use it on the supplements disc in the set.
THE THIEF OF BAGDAD DVD has another treat for Michael Powell and
Korda fans, an additional film, the war propaganda film THE LION HAS
WINGS.
Typical Criterion quality has been employed in the execution of the DVD.
