Download The Magnificent Elmer: My Life with Elmer Bernstein AudioBook Free
Compiled by his wife of 20 years, The Amazing Elmer is the first publication about Elmer Bernstein, a seminal physique of movie music. Elmer wrote music for more than 2 hundred films, like the scores for Hawaii, The Carpetbaggers, The Great Get away from, The Magnificent Seven,The Man with the Golden Arm, The Lovely Smell of Success, The Ten Commandments, The World of Henry Orient, To Wipe out a Mockingbird, True Grit, and Walk on the Outdoors Side, merely to name a few. He was nominated for fourteen Oscars and received for his credit score to Thoroughly Modern Millie. He also received two Golden Globes and was nominated for two Grammys. In this publication, Elmer's former wife Pearl says in vibrant anecdotes of the move from a fifth-floor Manhattan walk-up to the red rugs of Hollywood - no entirely timely move, as Joe McCarthy was at the peak of his powers and the studios were in their fatality throes. Pearl participated in the ups and downs of McCarthy, Will Hays, and Otto Preminger. She presents an array of Hollywood's leading men, warts and all, from Sinatra to Odets, from DeMille to Elmer's eponymous competitor, Leonard Bernstein.
