Well, hopefully this double bill of Billy will help rectify that. Billy Goldenberg’s TV output was huge – from series to TV movies, he never stopped working and won three Emmys along the way. Classics like Name of the Game, Columbo, Spielberg’s Duel, Night Gallery, Queen of the Stardust Ballroom, and so many others. Feature films included Red Sky at Morning, The Last of Sheila, Play It Again, Sam, Up the Sandbox, and others.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Grasshopper (1970) starred Jacqueline Bisset, Jim Brown, Christopher Stone, and Joseph Cotten. It was directed by former actor now director Jerry Paris, who had started directing for TV but also had several films under his belt, including Don’t Raise the Bridge, Lower the Water, Never a Dull Moment, How Sweet it Is, and Viva Max. It was written by Jerry Belson and Garry Marshall, based on a novel by Marc McShane called The Passing of Evil. Considering the incredible comedy chops of its writers and director, the film is a drama and a film very much of its time. Bisset plays a Canadian who is starry-eyed and who comes to the United States with high hopes, only to see her life unravel by the bright lights of Las Vegas and the big city lifestyle in Los Angeles, and by the end of the film she’s a burnt-out prostitute at twenty-two. Billy Goldenberg’s score fits the movie perfectly, filled with his wonderful melodies – romantic, dramatic, underscoring the heroine’s journey or descent into what becomes a tumultuous young life. Aside from Billy’s great music, there are a few songs along the way, as was the fashion – Bobby Russell wrote a couple (and sang), Vicki Lawrence does a vocal, and two of the songs are by Billy along with Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn. One of them, “Look Again” is sung by the popular group Brooklyn Bridge.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Domino Principle (1977) was a thriller with a great cast – Gene Hackman, Candice Bergen, Mickey Rooney, Richard Widmark, Eli Wallach, and others. It was based on a novel by Adam Kennedy, who also wrote the screenplay. Produced and directed by Stanley Kramer, how could it miss? Well, back then by miles. The critics were, to put it mildly, not kind. Back then, it was unusual for a critic to mention a film’s score, but Kevin Thomas in the Los Angeles Times did, saying, “Billy Goldenberg’s score sets the tense mood.”  And so, it does – it’s a wonderful score. Watching the film today, it certainly does have its pleasures if you’re a fan of paranoid thrillers like The Parallax View, but the greatest pleasure really is Goldenberg’s score, filled with great action cues, Goldenberg’s wonderful melodic lyricism, and some surprisingly harsh cues that are really fantastic.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBoth scores were mastered from reel-to-reel tapes, and James Nelson has done his usual masterful job in mastering them.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLimited to 500 Units\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;
