In the Line of Fire: Transparent vinyl LP
I have to hold my hands up and admit, this album didn’t come to my attention until only recently. Ennio Morricone’s excellent score to Wolfgang Petersen superb 1993 thriller starring Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich and Rene Russo is a soundtrack I’ve owned on CD since it first became available – over 30 years ago.
The film is about a disillusioned and obsessed former CIA agent who attempts to assassinate the President of the United States and the Secret Service agent who tracks him. Eastwood's character is the sole active-duty Secret Service agent who is still remaining from the detail that had guarded John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, at the time of his assassination in 1963.
The movie, still a firm favourite among fans, received some great reviews and was nominated for numerous Academy, ASCAP, BAFTA, Golden Globe and MTV Movie Awards.
The composer, the unique Ennio Morricone also arranged the tense movie score. He composed and conducted more than 500 film and television productions, making him one of the most influential, prolific and best-selling film composers since the late 1950s. For In the Line of Fire Morricone used the Unione Musicisti Di Roma Orchestra of Rome, Italy.
