Ron Goodwin Quotes

The very first public concert that I did was in 1970 at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was a "night of charity" to support people who worked for the cinema industry. That was organized by a man called Sidney Samuelson who had decided to do a series of concerts which he called the "Filmharmonic Concerts," and wanted to have four film composers to come and each conduct a half an hour of his own music.

There always certainly seems in a comedy film that it needs pointing, what's known as Mickey mousing -- everything in the action has a musical connection. But I think it's a great mistake to do that all the way through a comedy film. I think there are some scenes in a comedy film where you need conversation going on between and afterwards for instance. I think the only time you need to point everything in a comedy film is maybe in a cartoon, in an animated film. One of the greatest writers from the technical point of view of film music was the guy who does all the Tom & Jerrys [Scott Bradley] because it's not easy to do that degree of pointing when you're doing it all the way through the picture. But it depends of the comedy film. If it's a sophisticated comedy film, something like VIPs, I think it was scored by Riz Ortolani -- the whole film took place at the London airport where they couldn't take off because of the fog and that was basically a comedy film with a romantic element. I don't think there was any comedy pointing in that film at all.
