| Review of Elmer Bernstein'd tribute to Max Steiner's Helen of Troy |

Several Hollywood composers have, from time to time, re-recorded scores written by their colleagues, from films that were never released. Helen of Troy in one such movie . . . a well-written epic, based upon the The Illiad, which depicted the events leading up to the siege of Troy. Max Steiner, best know for his score for Gone With the Wind, fully captured the scale and depth of this tragedy with his music for Helen of Troy, from the optimistic refrains of the departure of Paris for Sparta to the assault upon the walls of Troy and the final defeat.
The title theme was featured on the flip side of a 45 record release of The Poor People of Paris, a top-40 hit of the mid-50s, but other than that, had to wait until Bernstein's tribute album, over two decades later to heard again. And for film score fans, it was worth the wait. Bernstein has bundled Helen of Troy with Steiner's music for A Summer Place.
This is a great album for those who appreciate film music from the 1950s.
