    Old movie artwork could be very terrible, like this example. The man looks a bit like Brando but nothing like Eva Marie Saint. BTW, she turned 100 on July 4.

    Whoops, that should be, “the woman looks nothing like Eva Marie Saint.

    What a shame, he wasn’t old old. He was a strong advocate for bringing music for films into the concert hall. His company provided recordings of so much great film music that no one else would do. I hope Intrada keeps going strong; CDs aren’t dead…yet. RIP.
