This music itself is a friendly persuasion to the fascinating world of Dimitri Tiomkin. Listening to this beautiful performance, I really feel the fifties were truly the golden age of US-American film music.
“Friendly Persuasion” is a story about a family of Quakers in the 1860’s, which has to face a number of problems, such as street fights, a rude goose, a pump organ and more strange encounters, which make the living just not as easy as it should be. All in all, the upcoming war does upset the pacifistic family (lead by Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire). The movie was directed by veteran William Wyler, who turned the charming screenplay into a gorgeous motion picture with love, fun and drama - everything - and got the movie a total of six Academy Award nominations. While there were no awards won (oh, just you wait another three years, Mr. Wyler), “Friendly Persuasion” showed that it did much right - as for the music, which was composed by the great Dimitri Tiomkin, who, as usual provided a love theme (Thee I Love), which became a popular tune (especially as performed by Pat Boone) and an all in all colorful musical experience, matching the plot. Enjoy!
Dear Fred Happy New Year my friend across the waters. Oh my God, I'm a huge fan of Tiomkin so many of his scores resonate with my soul...It's a Wonderful Life, Lost Horizon, Land of The Pharaohs, 55 days at Peking, and Giant. I just watched this beautiful film last weekend on TCM. Great cast quite believable. Thanks again a huge Virtual Hug to you always😍😘😎❤
One sad thing about this production though. Made at the height of the McCarthy period, the original screenplay was written by blacklisted writer Michael Wilson who was denied credit on the original release.
One of the first soundtracks albums I brought back in 1958 for $.97 cents of a cut out bin at Rose records here in Chicago. I still have it and I played it to death back then. This is one of my favorites. The only fault I have with it is not enough music from the film. I feel the music was a lot better than the film which to me was quite slow but not Tiomkin's music. Thanks Fred for the excellent upload. Out.

Glad everything's fine with you! We are doing okay over here in Europe as well. Oh and I didn't notice any anomalies with Facebook. Still posting here and there or did I miss a personal message? Let me know, if so!
Beautifully done, as always! Thank you! I do have a request for a suite. Would you please make a suite for the 1954 movie "The Valley of The Kings"? The music is by Miklos Rozsa, my favorite film composer. I hadn't seen this film in many many years, but got it on DVD for Christmas. Would love to hear the musical suite for this film. Thank you so much. :-)
@@SoundtrackFred Thank you, Fred! I look forward to that time! Your suites are worth waiting for! Love them all! Stay safe and healthy! And, thank you so much for these suites. I believe they are a healing magic for our musical souls. Peace and Joy to you!
I once brought Phyllis Love into one of my cinema classes via speakerphone (before the Zoom era). The interview was going well until I asked her if, today, she would do a nude scene as is so often required of contemporary actresses (on the assumption that she was younger, of course). She hung up on me. She wouldn't answer my emails or take my phone call of apology.
Hi Who am I? Just watched Lion in Winter the opening them is fabulous and the music is grand when the Queen meets her husband. Barry to is a wonderful composer ie Out of Africa one of his best.
Hello Jace, Carlos' score for A Clockwork Orange has been released just in fragments (or it is just that short. I don't remember). In any case there is no proper release with enough music to feature here, yet, unfortunately. Best! Fred
Hallo Fred. Echo hier. ^_^ Tiomkin war doch Russe, oder irre mich da etwa ? Ist der Patriot mit Mel Gibson nicht eine Art Remake von diesem Film hier ? Wie lautet nochmal der deutsche Titel von Friendly Persuasion ? Dir noch ein angenehmes Restwochenende. Bis denne. MfG Echo Unready
Hallo, "Friendly Persuasion" kann so nicht mit "Der Patriot" in Verbindung gebracht werden aber, wenn man den nicht kennt, kann ich verstehen, dass man dort Parallelen sieht. Der deutsche Titel ist "Lockende Versuchung". Schönes Wochenende!
@@SoundtrackFred Hallo Fred. Vielen Dank für deine Antwort. :-) Unter dem deutschen Titel ist mir der Film natürlich aus einer Austrahlung bei den Öffentlich Rechtlichen geläufiger. Dir noch ein angenehmes Restwochenende. MfG Echo Unready

One of Tiomkin's loveliest....a beautiful and precious film. Thank you!
My favorite movie and soundtrack was great

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid, many years ago. Great flick, thanks, Fred. :)
Great to hear from you, Mike. Hoping that everything is fine!
,@@SoundtrackFred We're doing ok, Fred. I haven't heard from you on Facebook for a while now,? I hope you are well? :)

I am really getting an education in great music Fred! Thank you. I've never heard of this one either. Very enjoyable.

"Valley of the Kings" is just put on the to-do list. It's just a matter of time. :-)

Love your work, Fred! It would be awesome if sometime you were to do "The Lion in Winter" (1968) by John Barry.
Great one!. Just put on the to-do list.
Have a nice weekend!

Can you do the A Clockwork Orange score by Wendy Carlos?

I truly love this movie and the score but this soundtrack album has beyond a doubt the ugliest cover art in my entire collection.
