  • What a compelling piece of scoring. North was a genius, pure and simple. As to the film...for all the critical barbs thrown at it, it remains a sumptuous and brilliant telling of the Cleopatra story and, as "Mikefreed9241" wrote earlier, you see "every buck" on the screen.

  • @BibleJoker2Face Yes. Amazon on Cd, not too cheap but worth it!

  • Beautiful and sad, this underrated masterpiece!

  • The movie cost a fortune, but when you watch it, you see every buck on the screen. Give 'em props for that.

  • @MCP2012, I just can't.

  • @BibleJoker2Face I don't think I have the capability of doing that. Let me check, tho, and get back with you....Why can't you order it thru Amazon?! (Just curious....)

  • @MCP2012, I'm unable to buy it, so could you please send it to me in mp3 format? (If you say yes, I'll send you my e-mail address in a message).

  • @buddmar Thank you for the collegial compliment! Yes, North was indisputably one of the great of film score composers! What many fail to understand is that ALL the great film score composers were awesome, incredibly talented & classically-trained musician-composers! Their film scores *R*, clearly, the musical-esthetic *equivalent* of great symphonies & (obviously, as closers in term of medium) operatic scores! I mean, **duh**! Film score r some of the greatest music ever written!!

  • @MCP2012 I find it so gratifying and rewarding that others have studied and appreciate the importance of the film score as music. When I was a kid growing up I thought I was weird because I loved film scores! In any case, I greatly admire the work of my fellow Pennsylvanian, Alex North.

  • @buddmar Correct. This and North's earlier, equally brilliant-&-beautiful score to Kirk Douglas' (and Stanley Kubrick's) *Spartacus*, are two of the most beautiful, magnificent scores ever penned (at least in this genre...). The only others that more-or-less equal North's achievements here are the phenomenal Miklos Rosza's scores for *Ben Hur* and *El Cid* (and perhaps also *King of Kings*...).
