Elmer Bernstein, the superlatively talented and incredibly prolific film composer, has died in his sleep aged 82. He started out scoring low budget films like Robot Monster and Cat-Women of the Moon, but in a few short years he had graduated to The Ten Commandments, The Sweet Smell of Success, The Man with the Golden Arm, The Magnificent Seven, To Kill a Mockingbird, Hud and The Great Escape. He followed these with an Oscar winning score for Thoroughly Modern Millie, True Grit, The Shootist, Airplane, Stripes, Heavy Metal, An American Werewolf in London, Ghostbusters, The Grifters, The Age of Innocence and Far from Heaven. |
