	Even better: In 1922 (funded by the Bolsheviks) was the premiere performance of experimental composition Symphony of Hooters, by Arsenii Avraamov. This composition featured navy ship sirens, whistles, car and bus horns, a machine gun battery, and cannons interwoven with performances of the Internationale and the Marseillaise by a mass choir and band.

	That's a hoot. (Buries head in shame)

	112. In Cold Blood (1967) - Quincy Jones This is Quincy Jones' first appearance on this list. This score was nominated for an Oscar, along with Richard Rodney Bennett's interesting but rather overrated Far From the Madding Crowd and Lalo Schifrin's Cool Hand Luke. They all lost to Elmer Bernstein, getting a mop up award for Thoroughly Modern Millie, a true slap in the face to Bernstein after all the snubs they'd given him previously. I've not seen this film or heard any of this music. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	I've not heard this one, or seen the film; but after seeing Capote, I'd quite like to.

	113. In the Heat of the Night (1967) - Quincy Jones This is Jones' second appearance on this list (coincidentally right next to his first appearance and for a film released the same year). This score was nominated for a Grammy, along with Bacharach's Casino Royale, Bricusse's Dr. Doolittle and To Sir, With Love, but they all lost, probably rightly to Lalo Schifrin's Mission Impossible. I've seen this film, but I remember nothing about the score. I remember the title song, of course, which is slow cooked, simmering genius. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	This is embarrassing...saw this recently, too, and really enjoyed it, but I don't remember the score.

	114. The Informer (1935) - Max Steiner This is Max Steiner's fourth appearance on this list. It took home an Oscar for best score, beating out, among others, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Captain Blood. Famous John Ford film and I like Steiner most of the time, but I'm not familiar with this one. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Haven't heard this one either. It must be very good to beat Captain Blood, though.

	Yeah, because Oscar always picks the right one. 115. The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) - Malcolm Arnold This is Malcolm Arnold's second appearance on this list. This score was nominated for no awards. I've seen this film and really loved it; Ingrid Bergman plays Gladys Aylward, a domestic maid from England who scraped enough money together to go to China as a Christian missionary. She started an orphange and quickly became an icon; the film seems melodramatic, until you study Aylward's life. She really did quell a prison riot singlehandedly and she really did lead her orphans across the border on foot during the war. Amazing lady, very good film. But I don't remember anything about the music. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	116. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) - Ernest Gold This is Ernest Gold's second appearance on this list. This score was nominated for an Oscar, along with Alex North's Cleopatra and Alfred Newman's How the West Was Won (probably deserved the win), but they all lost to, of all idiotic scores, John Addison's annoying chirps to Tom Jones. I am forced to say that the only thing I remember about this movie is how much I absolutely loathed it. It's a bad, bad, bad, bad movie. I'm not the first to say that in that way, but it bears repeating. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	I'll repeat it: it's really, really baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
