Thanks

Another terrific share. You are amazing!!!!!

thank you so much to you both

Thank you for all these great uploads.

Fried snagged his fourth and final Emmy nom for part 3, too. Hopefully parts 2 and 3 will be "forthcoming".

And I was scouting for images last night and never came across that one. You do seem to have a knack for that. 😉

🙂 It’s a combination of a TV Guide cover with the background removed (there was a group of modern day tourists visible!) and a new background blended in from a photo of one of the French locations.

Still, the only readily available version of that particular TV Guide cover is low,low, low-res (there’s only so long I’ll look), so you still managed to pull a lapin out of a chapeau. 🙂

Edit: Aha! It finally showed up in search.

Gracias

Great post. Thank you sadsack.

Thanks!

Thanks for the share

Thank you for another awesome share! 🙂

It probably should be noted that Bill Conti wrote the Main Theme. I didn’t know that until today.

Haven’t listened to it yet. Does Fried use and/or adapt the theme in his score, or does he ignore it?

Thanks Sadsack & Feedthecats.

Fried does quote it here and there.

When you get around to listening to it you’ll realise that sadsack was working with a problematic source for this one – that main theme sounds very muffled. Other cues are extremely quiet, and raising the volume introduces some hiss. I’m slowly working my way through the tracks and tweaking them to suit my own ears. Not complaining – it is what it is, and I’m grateful for it.

Thank you very much!

Thanks a great deal.

Many many thanks for sharing, as always!!!

I didnt make any alterations on this one.

Thanks very much for this rarity!!!

I didnt make any alterations on this one.

Sorry, I jumped to conclusions – this has that "muffled Left channel, bright Right channel" thing we were talking about. But not on every track. And some seem to be stereo. Is it all stereo? That muffled channel makes it hard to tell. I’ve spent most of the day plodding through each track and correcting as much as I can. It’s actually a good way to become familiar with the score.

Thank you so much

thanks

Definitely interested. Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you very much, Sadsack and Feedthecats!
