Good Book, Better Movie
Program: Reel Music
Aired: Friday, January 18, 2019 @ 8:00 pm
Hosted by Matt Rogers
More often than not, the book is better than the movie. But there are exceptions, maybe more than you’d think—The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, The Silence of the Lambs, Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959), Misery. Hear the original scores that helped these movies surpass their literary sources.
