A Time Travel Toddy for the New Year on “Picture Perfect”

by 

H. George Wells travels to the future, only to discover mankind divided into two factions and a civilization on the brink of collapse! Fortunately, we all know that could never happen…

This week on “Picture Perfect,” put aside your cares for an hour and begin the new year with an escapist program of time travel adventures.

Look forward – and back – to selections from “The Time Machine” (1960) by Russell Garcia, “Time After Time” (1979) by Miklós Rózsa, “Somewhere in Time” (1980) by John Barry, and “Back to the Future” (1985) by Alan Silvestri.

It’s about time, on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, now in syndication on KWAX Classical Oregon!

    ‘Time After Time’ is one of my favorites….love that score!

      Lesley Siedt Even more impressive because it’s one of Rózsa’s last scores! Only “Eye of the Needle” and “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” were yet to come. It’s crazy to think people like Rózsa and Alex North were still writing for the movies, while John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith were at their peak. In 1979, Elmer Bernstein was younger than I am now. We lived through a great era!

    Surprising what film music without visuals does. Kudos to your eclectic programs.
