The McCullochs 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. The movie starred the starring Forrest Tucker, Julie Adams, Forrest Tucker, and Max Baer, Jr. starred in this 1975 loose remake of The Quiet Man. The music combines Americana, Irish melodies, Big Band, jazz, comedy, and other styles, and it was a score the composer was quite proud of.
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. - Producer MMM
