On March 7 I saw ‘The Invisible Man’. That was my last time in a theater before we were all locked down. The reviews of the movie were mixed, but I thought it was a clever updating of the H.G. Wells premise, and had a lot going for it, including the soundtrack. I was so impressed by it that I stayed through the end credits to listen to the music.
Some of what I heard reminded me of ‘Forbidden Planet’. Which made me appreciate, not for the first time, just how far ahead of its time the so-called electronic tonalities were, as created by Bebe and Louis Barron.
