Join host Jeff Commings and guest co-host Chris Hatt as they examine the 1973 drama "Cinderella Liberty." Hatt counts this as one of his favorite John Williams scores, simply because the music exquisitely follows ordinary people in the real world. Using the piano as his guide, Hatt offers some insight into the artistry of creating music for a crucial bar scene, as well as the creation of the love theme for the prostitute played by Marsha Mason and the sailor played by James Caan. The film also marked an exciting collaboration between John Williams and lyricist Paul Williams, who wrote two original songs for the film based on themes composed for the film. Settle in for this "Wednesday Special" episode!

Your discussion of Cinderella Liberty with your guest Chris Hatt blew my mind as you two unraveled and dissected the anatomy of some of the main cues from this JW’s small but precious gem. I have now a better understanding and more appreciation as I listen to this unforgettable score. Thank you to both of you.
