David Shire

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, what's interesting is actually, did you know this as well? David Shire, as you said, was Talia Shire's ex-husband.

He actually composed it all before they shot the film.

And then the actors would actually listen to it and be inspired by the score, which is very interesting.

Uh, written by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, uh, with an uncredited writer, Jaye Tarus.

Music by David Shire.

He also did Saturday Night Fever, All the President's Men, Straight Time, and Zodiac.

Just some-

She's now married to Talia Shire, f- whose Adrian in the Rocky movies.

Married to her now husband, David Shire, or then husband, who did, if my buddy's listening, from, I, I forgot to message you back, the soundtrack to For All The Presidents Men, the music for, which I'm still looking for that.

[coughs] Looking for that album, and I'm looking for...

Oh, shit.

Ba-dum, bum, bum.

The David Shire score, yeah.

So good.

So good.

Yeah, where he has the last shot.

Like top five e- ending of, uh, that I can think of.

The score by David Shire.

Also, but also think about, think about other actors.

Chrissy McNichol, a bunch of people, but not memorable.

David Shire, by the way, Talia Shire's husband at the time, Adrian from the Rocky movies, did the music for this.

Also the music for All the President's Men.

David, I looked this up the other day.

I was just doing a deep dive on David Shire, as many do when they can't go to sleep at two in the morning.

David Shire divorced Talia Shire.

They have Jason Schwartzman.

That's their kid.

You know, I...

I've talked a lot about it, closer than ever, Richard Bolte and David Shire's piece.

That starts with a song called Doors, and it basically is all a bunch of people singing about you just walk through doors your whole life.

And that's, you know, it does what it's supposed to do because musically it sets up the world.

This contrast gives the movie breath despite the stuffiness of the overhead lights and the concrete walls of DC.

Veteran Gordon Willis lent his low-lit photography to the movie, and David Shire composed the pensive score.

The setting isn't inviting, but the cast of characters gives the movie warmth.

But be warned, the film was rated PG at its release, but its coarse language would earn it an R rating today.
