NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE
"Magic" is a mesmerizing score of intrigue, romance and terror. Brilliantly scored for strings and harmonica, this premiere soundtrack release fills a long lamented vacancy in many people’s soundtrack collection.
Anthony Hopkins is a ventriloquist psychologically tormented by his dummy in the Richard Attenborough thriller Magic (whose story may seem familiar to those who have seen the Michael Redgrave segment of Dead of Night, or the Cliff Robertson episode "The Dummy" from The Twilight Zone television series). William Goldman based his screenplay upon his best-selling novel. Hopkins plays Corky, a seedy magician who is hooted off the stage in the low-rent clubs that will stoop to hire him. But when he comes across a dummy named Fats, his career is energized. Corky sees in Fats everything he lacks himself -- confidence, creativity, and verbal agility. With the help of his agent Ben Greene (Burgess Meredith), Corky rises to the top of the nightclub circuit. But with Corky's success comes an increased paranoia, and he kills Ben. Corky thinks that the murderer is Fats and he goes on the lam to a Catskills resort, run by Peggy Ann Snow (Ann-Margret), an old girlfriend. In the run-down hotel, Corky's schizophrenic personality manifests itself and more murders occur. 1978
