Son of a gun, We were watching that too and thinking he must be the Beheim of the Blog. By the way Eric, thanks for all your great contributions to THE BLOG.

Thank you for this unexpected and pleasant surprise. (I wasn’t even aware that these films had aired on TCM.) The scores were actually done in 2004 for a DVD anthology titled UNSEEN CINEMA, and which presented some 19 hours of old and/or unusual films (both sound and silent) that have largely been forgotten today. One of my favorites was a film done using time-lapse photography and showing the Star Theater being demolished over a period of several days. (In the film, it only takes about 2 minutes from start to finish.) The film was then reversed and you see the Star Theater being restored from an empty foundation to its original appearance. Another favorite film from this series was one photographed with the camera mounted on a flatcar that is traveling through a stretch of the New York City subway system, ending at Grand Central Station. A recent score that was done specifically for TCM accompanies THE VANISHING AMERICAN, a 1925 silent film starring Richard Dix and based on the famous Zane Grey novel. It was filmed on location in Monument Valley many years before John Ford ever thought to go there to make westerns.
