Iconic images from fiery scenes of catharsis in Gone With the Wind
and Rebecca to The Third Man's decadent cinematography have proven
inseparable from their accompanying melodies. From the 1910s-50s,
producer David O. Selznick depended upon music to distinguish his
films from his competitors'. By demonstrating music's value in film
and encouraging its distribution through sheet music, concerts,
radio broadcasts, and soundtrack albums, Selznick changed
audiences' relationship to movie music. But what role did Selznick
play in the actual music composition that distinguished his
productions, and how was that music made? As the first of its kind
to consider film music from the perspective of a producer, this
book tells the story of the evolution of Selznick's style through
the many artists whose work defined Hollywood sound. Utilizing
thousands of archival documents, chapters in this book unearth and
analyze Selznick's efforts in the late silent-era, his work at
three major Hollywood studios, and his accomplishments as an
independent producer, including music-making for King Kong, A Star
is Born, Prisoner of Zenda, Duel in the Sun, among many others.
