St Patrick’s Day Movie Music

This week on “Picture Perfect,” we’ll be seeing double for St. Patrick’s Day, with selections from two films scored by John Williams (“Angela’s Ashes” and “Far and Away”) and two directed by John Ford (“The Informer” and “The Quiet Man”), with music by Max Steiner and Victor Young, respectively.

“Far and Away” may be of additional interest for the participation on the film’s soundtrack of The Chieftains, whose founding member, Paddy Moloney, died in October.

Actor Victor McLaglen won an Academy Award for his performance as Gypo Nolan in “The Informer” in 1935. 17 years later, he traded blows with John Wayne in one of film’s great donnybrooks in “The Quiet Man.”

If you miss it, you’ll regret it to your dying day… if ever you live that long. It’s an airing of the green, on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, this Saturday evening at 6:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
