Most of us crave some level of stability in our lives (for some of us, perhaps now more than usual), but when it comes to the movies, nothing enhances romantic passion quite like societal upheaval.
This week on “Picture Perfect,” for Valentine’s Day, there will be plenty of valor, nobility, and sacrifice to tug at the heart strings, as we listen to music from movies that examine love in time of war, including selections from “Casablanca” (Max Steiner), “Doctor Zhivago” (Maurice Jarre), “The English Patient” (Gabriel Yared), and “Cyrano de Bergerac” (Dimitri Tiomkin).
War supplies impediments, spectacle, often tragedy, and possibly even a few Oscars. Tune in for an hour of impossible love, missed opportunities, and doomed romance, on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, now in syndication on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
