If you took the Maltese and Foster scripts of the 2nd season and used the kinds of poses of the 1st season, you'd have some great little cartoons (though I'd love to have seen them tell Carlo Vinci to pull off some wilder takes).<br /><br />I'm a great fan of 50s production libraries and, though some of the music wasn't used well in the HB cartoons, the Capitol/Langlois beds are more enjoyable than Hoyt Curtin's stock cues. Shaindlin's marches and dramatic stuff leaves me a little cold, but his lighter stuff is really interesting musically. Several other production music composers of the late 40s have a similar sound. There are probably some cues of his which could have worked really well in the HB cartoons but were never picked for some reason; perhaps budgetary.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-51637915002682802802009-04-23T13:20:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:20:00.000-07:00Hi Yowp,

I love the early H-B shorts and I'm glad to see a blog dedicated to them. BTW, I though I was the only person on blogger with Jack Shaindlin listed under his favorite music. Nice!Kevin Langleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623675845502307848noreply@blogger.com
