Men In War

CD (Item 138139) Kritzerland, 1957 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
A war-themed soundtrack from Elmer Bernstein – but one that has many of the same flourishes as his best jazz scores of the 50s! The Bernstein sense of drama is in place right from the start – some great stop/start orchestrations that move forward beautifully – inflected by rich horn passages that twist and turn to bring in some really deep feelings – way past the usual for the time, and with a sense of tone and color that's simply breathtaking! We're normally not huge fans of scores for war films, but this one really stands out – and is an essential addition to any collection of Elmer Bernstein's music for movies. Titles include "Impassioned Argument", "Run For Cover", "Men In War Theme", "Sounds Of War", "The Last March", and "Salute To Heroes".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Nice tune! The groovy main theme to this one far outlived the film, and showed up all over the place in the 60s – on instrumental theme records, TV spoofs, and other oddball sources. The rest of the score's pretty great, too – and features some compelling orchestrations by Bernstein, ... CD
