Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE GERALD FRIED COLLECTION, VOLUME 2, featuring music composed by Gerald Fried (THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., STAR TREK, ROOTS) for two films from his extensive filmography, THE BELL JAR and VIGILANTE FORCE.
Released in 1979, THE BELL JAR was directed by Larry Peerce (GOODBYE, COLUMBUS) starring Marilyn Hassett (THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN) and Julie Harris (EAST OF EDEN). Based on the 1963 book by Sylvia Plath, THE BELL JAR tells the story of Esther (Hassett), a young nineteen year-old woman who spends the summer in New York City interning for a women’s magazine. After she returns home to New England, she suffers a series of psychological breakdowns in connection with various troubling events during the 1950s, including the very public execution of the Rosenbergs for espionage. These disturbing occurrences trigger repressed memories of her past as Esther struggles to recover from onsetting madness...
Released in 1976, VIGILANTE FORCE was written and directed by George Armitage (MIAMI BLUES), starring Kris Kristofferson, Bernadette Peters, Jan-Michael Vincent, Victoria Principal, Brad Dexter, Judson Pratt, David Doyle, Antony Carbone, Andrew Stevens, Charles Cyphers and Paul Gleason. VIGILANTE FORCE tells the story of Elk Hill, a small California town infested by unruly oil-field workers whose only form of communication are fists and kicks. Two brothers, Ben and Aaron (Vincent and Kristofferson) are enlisted by the local authorities to help restore the peace. The brothers recruit a band of veteran mercenaries and successfully purge the town of the troublemakers. However, the peacekeepers are not so eager to relinquish their authority and Ben finds himself having to fight against his own brother to regain control of Elk Hill.
Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE GERALD FRIED COLLECTION, VOLUME 2, featuring music composed by Gerald Fried for THE BELL JAR and VIGILANTE FORCE for the first time on compact disc. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by composer and author Brian Satterwhite.
THE GERALD FRIED COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 is a limited edition release of 500 units.
