Yul Brynner as Jason Compson? Okay, so the 1959 film version of “The Sound and the Fury” is a mess. But the score by Alex North is wonderful. If you’re a North fan, you’ll want to be on hand this week for “Picture Perfect,” when we present an hour of literary pairings: “The Sound AND the Fury,” “War AND Peace,” “Crime AND Punishment,” and “Sense AND Sensibility.”

You get the picture? Perfect!

I hope you’ll join me for music by Alex North, Nino Rota, Arthur Honegger and Patrick Doyle, written for movies inspired by the writings of William Faulkner, Leo Tolstoy, Feodor Dostoyevsky and Jane Austen, this Friday evening at 6 ET, with a repeat Saturday morning at 6; or that you’ll listen to it later as a webcast at wwfm.org.
