SEALED

Lure of The Wilderness (1952) was directed by Jean Negulesco (Humoresque, Johnny Belinda, Three Coins In The Fountain, Boy On A Dolphin) and starred Walter Brennan, Jean Peters and Jeffrey Hunter in a story of a young girl and her father, who is unjustly accused of murder. They seek refuge in a Georgia swamp until they are befriended by a trapper who penetrates the swamp in search of his dog.

The score is beautiful, exotic, lilting, ominous and percussive. Waxman was always musically adventurous and he most certainly held nothing back here.
