Elmer Bernstein - The Silencers (Soundtrack) '1966

Tracks list

The Silencers is an American Pathécolor spy film spoof motion picture
released in 1966 and starring Dean Martin as agent Matt Helm. It is loosely
based upon and takes its title from the 1962 novel The Silencers by Donald
Hamilton, and also adapts elements of Hamiltons first Helm novel, Death of a
Citizen (1960). Co-starring with Martin are Stella Stevens, Daliah Lavi, James
Gregory and Victor Buono. It is notable as being the first film to have a
post-credits scene.

Elmer Bernstein’s life could have been set to music, and for many, it
was. Affable, fearless and genuine, the man behind the music that has already
surpassed the test of time was a man with a golden touch. His contribution to
film music is celebrated. His contribution to new generations of aspiring
musicians continues. His exuberance for life is still felt.
In the history of film music, Elmer Bernstein (1922-2004) is among the iconic
and the legendary. With a career that spanned an unparalleled 5 decades, he
composed more than 150 original movie scores and nearly 80 for television,
creating some of the most recognizable and memorable themes in Hollywood
history: the driving jazz of The Man With the Golden Arm, the rousing Western
anthem of The Magnificent Seven, the lyrical and quietly moving music of To Kill
a Mockingbird, and the jaunty, thumb-nosing march of The Great Escape. His
impact is still felt, and his presence still missed, by moviemakers and
moviegoers alike.
