Jerry Goldsmith - The Shadow - Soundtrack Music Suite

the shadow music from the soundtrack composed by Jerry Goldsmith 1994
contains the palace, the bridge, stay back, the sanctum, the hotel,....
cool theme, good score, bad movie

[@Pbmarron]

I loved this movie growing up. I had the action figures and the movie on VHS. I don’t care what the critics say, this is a good one to me.

[@donsaxon1948]

Agreed 100 percent...some time around the year 1982, Isomehow acquired a cassette recording of an original live radio broadcast and I was intrigued.....when I saw this movie in 94, I thought it was the best movie ever

I think it was a terribly underrated film. Possibly one of the best of its genre, I've seen.

absolutely love this film, score, acting , design everything

[@evgeniam685]

Amazing movie, one of best. And better than any movies nowadays. I was grown on it

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Excellent production design and score, but the story was lacking and Alec Baldwin was less than engaging as the protagonist.

[@iceomistar4302]

I still need to see it

[@RickJaeger]

@@dreamlandnightmare people keep saying the plot was "weak" but I'm not seeing it. As for Alex Baldwin, I guess that is a matter of taste. I thought he did really well, but he's not as immediately charismatic as some other pulp heroes, sure.

[@My2Cents1]

Jerry Goldsmith had such a great balance of orchestra and synthesizer in his scores.

[@43nostromo]

Hell yes!

[@unbornjustice913]

Yes the truth and it has a very dark feel to it the type to give u a spine tingling feeling

[@wcw2793]

He absolutely did and it’s sad that he’s no longer around 😔😭

[@RKingis]

​@@wcw2793I've heard heard his son is doing music.

[@GoblinXXX]

Goldsmith really outdid himself with this one, IMO. Completely captured the feel of that classic pulp/radio hero.

[@iceomistar4302]

I wonder if Goldsmith read the original stories in the 30s? His music sounds modern but could have been from the Golden Age too, this is something I imagine Bernard Herrmann composing.

[@MattmanFishgoose]

Jerry Goldsmith knows.

[@88SeanRay]

One of the most underrated movies of ALL TIME

[@peterbrown3608]

It never mattered what the movie was like, what it was about, how it performed at the box office, you were always guaranteed of a fantastic film score with Jerry Goldsmith.

[@jhcmusicii6181]

Saw it in the theaters and I thought it was great. I was truly surprised when it wasn't that well received. Weird thing is that I saw it in NYC and the theater was packed. Could hardly find a seat. I guess the rest of America wasn't that into it. Still a great film.

[@iceomistar4302]

NYC is basically where all superheroes hangout, even in DC the cities of Gotham and Metropolis are based on NY. Gotham is the dingy art deco side of NYC whilst Metropolis is the shining ideal.

[@GreecyBoy2525]

What a great score by Jerry Goldsmith, the first time I ever saw this film was in 1999 when I was 4yo and it was a childhood favorite of mine, and still is at this time!!

[@ReggieDice]

I first saw it in theaters when it first came out and still a favorite of mine to this day

[@jeenkzk5919]

very underrated film in my opinion!

[@RKingis]

Definitely one of my favs!

[@MegaSpencersmith]

This character is way more deserving of a reboot than spiderman or the hulk

[@PatrickRsGhost]

I loved the movie as well, and after having listened to a couple of episodes of the radio series, I'd love to see a reboot. I think the problem with The Shadow is, AFAIK, there are no comic books or other forms of media currently produced for it. When the movie was released, I don't recall seeing any comic books out for it at the time. Not many people had heard of The Shadow except the elderly at the time (60+), who grew up listening to the radio series, and younger generations who would have heard about it from that generation. The Internet was still a brand new thing, so there wouldn't have been any way to listen to the old shows. If you were lucky, your local library might have had some episodes on cassette tape or CD, or you might could find a recording or two in some catalog or music store. If you were lucky. Nowadays with the Internet being more widespread, and there being more content available, I think it could get more exposure. I know there are websites out there with old episodes of those old radio series uploaded somewhere; all it would take is a quick Google search. I wouldn't be surprised seeing some here on KZbin. A couple of weeks or so ago, a coworker who grew up listening to the series quoted the famous opening lines. I don't know how it came to that, but it did. He said, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man?" and I instantly responded, "Only The Shadow knows!" then did the maniacal laugh. He told me I was too young to know that. I told him I used to have XM a while back, and had listened to a couple of episodes on the Old-Time Radio Classics channel.

[@sting7789]

There is many Shadow comic books. Dynamite entertainment made him even more badass in their various series.

[@DoymatDDV]

if only Jerry Goldsmith will do the music for that movie

[@adrianthx_]

@@PatrickRsGhost There are books from the shadow

[@iceomistar4302]

I really hope they don't, he is a great character but keep out of the grimy hands of Hollywood and the modern comic writers most of whom can't.write a story to save their lives

[@fabricator]

Jerry Goldsmith, the man that surpassed in his music the films that he scored

[@Hovardov]

-Oh, God I dreamed. -So did I. What did you dream? -I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time.

[@sting7789]

Canalus Except The Shadow gets beat down every 5 seconds. The Shadow from dynamite comics is a genius, master marksmen and expert martial artist and has his unique powers. Good film still though that just showcases his powers.

[@Tgr2k1]

Saw this movie on opening weekend in '94. The theater i saw it in had just finished upgrading their audio systems and Jerry Goldsmiths score knocked my socks off it sounded so incredible. The movie itself is an underrated gem but Jerry's score truly elevated the experience 10 fold in my opinion. One of my favorite movie going experiences.

When you realize the Shadow's iconic costume is what everyone had to wear in 2020...

[@rickfrombohemia9550]

Amazing costume, simple yet very impressive. Btw. it strongly resembles that of Aristide Bruant, a French cabaret singer, comedian, and nightclub owner, who can be seen on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's posters. I wonder if there was any inspiration.

[@GoldenOwlEvents]

This whole movie hits so many notes: Classy, beautiful, suave, funny, menacing, fun, sexy, silly, dark. Everything Shiwan Khan is, actually. Outstanding soundtrack, gorgeous colour processing, fantastic costume design (Margot Lane's silk cocktail gown has to be one of the greatest dresses in cinema history). Delightful blend of Eastern martial arts mysticism and lore and the exciting, bustling grunge of New York's roaring 40s. All the support cast smash their individual roles, giving memorable performances even with one line. Every now and then I have another hankering to watch The Shadow again, and every time I'm reminded again just how good it is. The Shadow may have disappeared into the unseen corners of movie history, but it's always lurked in a specual place in my heart. 😊🎩💣

[@nebojshatodoroski8750]

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

Dark Man was based on the Shadow, Sam Raimi loved the character but didn't have the rights, and so did his own character. There has been talk about a new Shadow film, but it never goes anywhere. It would be perfect to do one now, with so many other comic characters, people want something new and different.

[@DragonmanX90]

Can we please get a Shadow Netflix series or something?

[@sting7789]

I hope so and make him the way Garth Ennis did for dynamite entertainment. I would say make him master martial artist, master marksman, immortal, powerful telepath, powerful telekinetic and genius level intellect. That is combining what everybody has done with him. Garth Ennis did this and it is epic.

[@hbkx5]

would agree with everything but being immortal i really like the way he is portrayed in the comic series the shadow strikes. it ran for a bit and is really good.

Goldsmith's scores for ALIEN and THE OMEN are very different, but also eerie in their own way. Elfman's '89 BATMAN score is similar to this in tone. Maybe look up the soundtrack from the 1980 film THE CHANGELING for a haunting piano score.
