NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE
From INTRADA - World premiere of two dramatic 20th Century Fox soundtracks. WARLOCK is brooding "mature" western with Henry Fonda. Leigh Harline supplies powerful score highlighted by intense Main Title. VIOLENT SATURDAY is hardened robbery tale with severe, sometimes brutal Hugo Friedhofer score. In contrast, warm and gentle "Shelly and Steve" theme offers composer's trademark Americana. Both scores presented in dynamic stereo from original Fox master elements preserved in terrific condition. Lionel Newman conducts. Limited edition of 1200 copies.

WARLOCK - Warlock offers us a mean-spirited, mercenary Henry Fonda and an honest, peaceloving Richard Widmark. A Wyatt Earp-like frontier marshal, Fonda agrees to protect the small town of Warlock from an outlaw gang, but only if he's permitted to plunder the town's cash reserve. Widmark, the town deputy, is a reformed outlaw whose willingness to fend off the invading criminals is motivated by his fondness for his new neighbors. Looming large in the proceedings is Anthony Quinn as the glory-grabbing Fonda's sidekick. Adapted by Robert Alan Aurthur from a novel by Oakley Hall, Warlock is a good example of the "thinking man's westerns" prevalent in the late 1950s-early 1960s. 1959
VIOLENT SATURDAY - Three bank robbers (J. Carroll Naish, Lee Marvin, Stephen McNally) case a small Arizona mining town prior to pulling a holdup. The audience get to know the various townsfolk as they're scrutinized by the crooks. Victor Mature plays a man who is a disappointment to his son because he didn't serve in the war. Tommy Noonan is a meek bank manager with a habit of spying on a pretty customer as she undresses in her second-story bedroom. Sylvia Sidney is a petty thief who has deposited her stolen funds in the bank. Margaret Hayes is the cheating wife of a local leading citizen, who is killed in the holdup. And Ernest Borgnine is a pacifistic Amish farmer, forced to take violent action when his children are threatened by the criminals (Borgnine's pitchfork-wielding scene was reproduced for the print ads of this film, leading some critics to assume that he was the villain!) The hero of the day turns out to be the "unheroic" Mature, who after being kidnapped by the crooks frees himself and prevents their escape. Violent Saturday is based on a novel by William I. Heath. Also stars Richard Egan and Billy Chapin. 1955
