Which famous Producers films all have Modern Music playing Naturally yet he has Never commissioned a Music Score soundtrack

And in one film he even had his own Jukebox playing( complete with lots of rare 45's)


Who Is It?

I have no Link for an answer but only learnt this fact from an Interview with him on TV the other day

Correction I have an indirect link for an answer(ran out of edit time)

I'd guess Robert Mugge.

Never heard of him Colin

My answer is very well known OK?

My guess is Alfred Hitchcock, who felt that, in a good, movie, you could turn the sound off and the audience could still tell what was going on.

Hello bedstor,

"Never heard of him Colin"

Really? Try googling his name: Here's just three sites, and his oeuvre does seem to fit the question.

Fairly sure that Hitchcock commisioned soundtracks for his movies.I know he used composers such as Bernard Herrmann and Miklos Rozsa. Also doesn't seem the jukebox type !
Viv

Also since Bedstor only says 'producer', I'd assume that he's not also a director. Although the director probably has more control over the music than the producer.

I agree that Hitch didn't seem like the juke box type, but he was a very strange man. After I read your post, Viv, I went to check to see if his movies had soundtracks. (I only went back to 1955, and no, I didn't check before. It was a guess.) The few soundtracks listed by imdb were done from the original scores, which certainly implies that they were recorded after the movie was released. I checked the Amazon link, and read a few reviews that seemed to say the same thing.I don't think that Hitch himself "commissioned a Music Score soundtrack".

Jusork and Colin are the closest so far
The person you are looking for is well a bit of a director too and some other Off and on screen roles too, but best known as a Producer

I wonder if he's done a "Hitchcock" cameo in any of his own Movies?

Quentin Tarantino. He is better known as a director, writer and actor than as a producer.

Bedstor, I think I am confused about what "commissioned a Music Score soundtrack" means. Would you please explain?

Dance girl it's a pretty good guess.
Tarantino's jukebox is named Ami.
See the list of his 50 songs here

Hi Mozart,
It isn't really a guess. I am a big fan of Tarantino's work. If I am right, this is a terrible trivia question. But we'll wait to hear Bedstor's aswer. dg

Hang on a minute. The classic example of a producer (inter alia, for he did other stuff too) of many films made a non "commissioned" soundtrack is Robert Mugge. In this particular field he is acclaimed, consistently filming in reality settings and seeing his work recognised by the critical mass in terms of this particular characteristic. But this may not be the answer sought here.
Hitchcock was a producer too (as well as a rather well-known director) wasn't he - but I don't think he was responsible for films that "all have modern music playing naturally", as required by bedstor's original question). Not like Mugge.
But Tarantino seems an odd answer - though it may be correct in this particular instance, and if it is, well, dance girl, je te salue bien bas. Tell me though, bedstor, in the presence of the "45s" listed on mozart's link, just why your question states that the collecton of songs in question consists of "lots of rare 45s"?

I know I know it is a Not so hot Triva question .

It is Tarantino

As for commissioned Movie score issue He said in the Interview I saw, He himself chose a record to fit the character/action rather than pay somebody else to make up a piece of music or choose a music clip as they did years ago.
So the end result was a bit of Tarantino Influence in the whole framework of the Movie...I wouldn't be surprised if he swept up too

for Colin this quote from the article posted above will clarify matters

quote:

Changing the subject, I tell Tarantino that I recognised his handwriting on the jukebox in the bar. “Yes, that’s my own jukebox. I shipped it down especially and I hand-wrote all the title cards, like you spotted. Not only are the records all my own 45s, but they’re the original pressings of all those records. No re-issues”. He chuckles, amused by his own geekiness. The director and his music are so closely connected, I ask him how he comes up with his final selection. “When I decide to make a movie, I go up to the record room in my house – it’s all set up like an old time record store – and flip through my vinyl. It’s not just about finding the music that will play in the movie, it’s about finding the beat, the rhythm. Now, if you’re talking Pulp Fiction, you’re talking about 60s surf guitar. Jackie Brown, its 70s Soul music. Kill Bill Vol. II is Spaghetti Western soundtracks. But with Death Proof, it was a little different because for the most part, all the actual songs came straight off that jukebox. It was ridiculously sort of…organic”.

This is the reason I rarely ask trivia quesions, Bedstor. A trivia question should be accurate in the information given within the question itself, and any further clues should contain completely accurate information.

You asked the following:

Which famous Producers films all have Modern Music playing Naturally yet he has Never commissioned a Music Score soundtrack

1.As I said, Tarantino is famous for being a movie director, NOT a producer. He is actually probably more well known as writer and an actor, than he is a producer.


2. That said, he has produced movies. I haven't checked, but it may be, that some of the movies he has produced have had scores written for them.

3.None of the movies he is famous for directing have commissioned scores. That is one of Tarantino's famous trademarks.

What complicates things further, is that he did not act as producer on all the movies, for which he is best known.
Argueably, "Pulp Fiction" is his best known movie, yet Lawrence Bender is the producer of that film.
However, Bender has produced other movies for which musical scores have been commissioned.

You then followed up with this clue:

The person you are looking for is well a bit of a director too and some other Off and on screen roles too, but best known as a Producer.

I have to disagree, Bedstor, because Tarantinto is one of the most innovative and well known directors of our time.
He does produce films, but with the exception of "Hostel" they are not particularly well known.
You would have hard core Tarantino fans up in arms at your description of him as a "bit of a director"

You ask,
I wonder if he's done a "Hitchcock" cameo in any of his own Movies?

Have a look at "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs"


btw, it is also generally accepted that producers do not interfere with the director's artistic vision for a film, and the soundtrack is usually part of this.



I think any of the people who answered above, could have got this right, had the question been worded properly to begin with.

"...famous Producers..."
"...but best known as a Producer..." - Bedstor

Just as I feared, another Bedstor question in which facts given are not necessarily true.

Hey Bedstor! Which famous world conqueror also cut an album with the Beatles?

(OK, I'm wrong about one of those, but it doesn't matter.)

This isn't trivia, it's "Guess what number I am thinking of." Maybe they should be moved to

If you look at www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/

QT has 14 credits each for Director/Producer
