The Robe
Commentary
Released by 20th Century Fox
This was great fun to do. Joining me and film historians Nick Redman and Julie Kirgo on the commentary track was the composer Alfred Newman’s son, fine composer and brilliant conductor in his own right David Newman. We got to talk at length about his father’s score, the brilliance of the Fox orchestra, the use of choir, and the atmosphere at the studio during the 1950s.
