The Baton: A John Williams Musical Journey
TV & Film:Film History
Of all the big decisions Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had to make on their first film collaboration, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," picking John Williams as composer was probably the easiest one. Williams was likely the only crew member who had worked with both Spielberg and Lucas, and gave us another timeless score that perfectly encapuslates the personalist of archaeologist Indiana Jones. Host Jeff Commings analyzes Williams' composition of the main theme, and why it doesn't exactly follow the same pattern as his previous marches. Also part of the discussion are the fantastic scenes involving a kidnapping and an extended chase sequence in the desert. Get over your fear of snakes and join us for this epic ride!
