Presentation by Steven C. Smith, author of "Music by Max Steiner: The Epic Life of Hollywood's Most Influential Composer"
Nearly half a century before John Williams' STAR WARS soundtrack, 24-time Oscar® nominee Max Steiner created the sound of Hollywood film music, establishing the rules of scoring still used today. Steven C. Smith's presentation covers Steiner's creative struggles and interactions with producer David O. Selznick, studio chief Jack Warner and stars including Fred Astaire and Bette Davis.
Followed by:
MELODY CRUISE, a delightful pre-Code musical comedy that follows pals Pete (Charles Ruggles) and Alan (Phil Harris) as they attempt to avoid romantic entanglements while on a voyage filled with temptation.
