The McCullochs[MMM-1966] is one of Ernest Gold’s least known scores, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an extremely well-written and
enjoyable work.
The Academy Award-winning composer (Exodus, Inherit the Wind, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World) wrote an extremely diverse score for this 1975
movie that was a loose remake of The Quiet Man, and which starred Forrest Tucker, Julie Adams, and Max Baer, Jr. The music combines Americana, Irish melodies, Big Band, jazz, comedy, and
other styles, and it was a score the composer was quite proud of. The soundtrack boasts a wide stereo field that only adds to the fun!
This non-monstrous Monstrous Movie release includes a 16-page liner book about the movie and its music, and the release
is dedicated to Julie Adams, whose lovely image adorns the cover courtesy of artist Robert Aragon.
