“Timothy Brock’s music score is the final piece that makes this classic live. Centered on a mournful solo cello, the score beautifully underlines the action without being obtrusive or Mickey-Mousing.”
“Kino’s new DVD of The Last Laugh includes a wonderful new score by Timothy Brock that is performed by the Olympia Chamber Orchestra. And the video transfer was supplied from a 35mm negative in remarkably good condition.”
