The Cowboys (USA 1972)
Directed by Mark Rydell
Soundtrack by John Williams
"Overture and Opening Credits"
The Cowboys is a 1972 western motion picture starring John Wayne, Roscoe Lee Browne, Slim Pickens, A Martinez and Bruce Dern. Robert Carradine makes his film debut with fellow child actor Stephen R. Hudis. It was filmed at various locations in New Mexico, Colorado and at Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California. Based on the novel by William Dale Jennings, the screenplay was written by Irving Ravetch, Harriet Frank, Jr., and Jennings, and directed by Mark Rydell.
One of William's most glorious "pastiche" works; he cribs just about everybody here: Copeland, Elmer Bernstien, Leonard Bernstein, Tiomkin, everybody who composed for Hawks, Ford, and Stevens - and he even predicts some of his own gestures in "1941" - and does it all brilliantly and deliciously: a minor icon of work back when he was just some guy. Check out his lovely (but brief) work for "Sugarland Express" and his great - but underappreciated score for "Cinderella Liberty."
