INTRADA Announces:
HOUSE OF BAMBOO
Composed by LEIGH HARLINE
Conducted by Lionel Newman
INTRADA Special Collection Volume 30
For the 20th Century Fox film HOUSE OF BAMBOO (1955), director Samuel
Fuller presents an extraordinary portrait of post-war Japan. Robert
Stack plays Eddie, a tough Army cop who infiltrates a gang of
dishonorably discharged servicemen, led by the disarmingly soft-spoken
Sandy (Robert Ryan). Although a seemingly simplistic plot, Fuller
brings in his usual bravura, embroidering the tale with more complexity
than is first apparent.
In the music to HOUSE OF BAMBOO, perhaps nowhere is Leigh Harline's full
range of gifts more glitteringly on display. From the opening cascades
of ferociously descending strings, the music is sure, strong, confident,
and beautiful. The music is played powerfully by the Fox orchestra
under the baton of Lionel Newman. It's suspenseful, ominous,
romantic...all wielding a profoundly serious tone that keeps Fuller's
cinematic pyrotechnics in the realm of the recognizably real. This
release was edited and mastered from the original stereo session masters
which were in perfect condition, allowing for an impressive dynamic
range and stereo spread.
This Intrada Special Collection release is limited to 1200 copies.
