The Red Mill (Feature Film) Michael Picton – Composer Directed by William Goodrich (Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle) Starring Marion Davies The 1927 silent film, The Red Mill, is based on the 1906 operetta by Victor Herbert and Henry Blossom. Tina (Marion Davies), the drudge of the Red Mill Tavern, suffers under the cruel temper of her employer, Willem. Her only friend is Ignatz, the mouse who lives in her wooden shoe. Tina falls for ladies' man Dennis Wheat, visiting Holland with his valet, Caesar (Snitz Edwards). Gretchen (Louise Fazenda), the burgomaster's daughter, is betrothed to the elderly governor, though she is actually in love with the simpleton Captain Jacop Van Goop (Karl Dane). Tina and Gretchen swap identities and hijinks ensue. Notes on the score: This new score to The Red Mill was commissioned by Turner Classic Movies for broadcast on its movie network. I scored the piece for a small, varied chamber ensemble - piano, percussion, violin, cello, bass, trumpet, clarinet, accordion, and occasional harpsichord - to keep the mood of the film quirky and light and for the practical reason of designing a score that could be performed live at screenings without great expense to the presenters. Though I decided not to recognizably quote Victor Herbert's songs in the score, I did use small motivic fragments of his tunes as the basis of several of my new melodies. Broadcasts |
