Fantastic documentary about one of the greatest film composers ever (he can be seen recording his score for THE RIVER). It could easily have lastet 2 hours instead of just 70 minutes, there is a wealth of people close to him who could tell wonderful stories about Jerry. Maybe even some of his fans could have been included. But Fred Karlin did a great job and his videotaped documentary is now really sought after.

This documentary is really excellent! It is with 70 minutes not too long and at never boring. You get to know what kind of instrument was used for the main theme of "Poltergeist 2", you get to know that Goldsmith used two weeks to find a theme for "Medicine Man" and you get to know a lot of background information of "The River Wild". There are many excerpts of movies which make the documentary very interesting. And of course there is a lot of Jerry Goldsmith's film music. You can also see interviews with f.e. Alexander Courage which are also quite interesting. In every case this documentary is worth watching and every Jerry Goldsmith fan should watch it and will like it!
