    A "MAGNIFICENT" DOUBLE LIFE
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017*

The late great Miklos Rozsa was arguably one of the greatest if not THE greatest film composer of the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood. This autobiography title is also a double entendre - Rozsa was not only a superb film composer (his "public" music) but also made sure that he had the available time to pursue his career as a meaningful concert composer (his "private" music). He also won an Oscar (his second of three) for his music to the movie A DOUBLE LIFE whose title was symbolic of his life's work. But, unlike what happened to the main character in that film, Rozsa remained true to both. A listing of his total oeuvre is found at the end of this book; and one might well wonder how could one individual have created so much quantitatively and qualitatively and with so muchvariation. From the time his parents met in pre-World War I Hungary and his birth in 1907, MW covers 74 years of his life. His last film was DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID in 1981 with Steve Martin. He passed away in 1995 at the age of 88.Miklos Rozsa was a true "Renaissance Man" - highly cultured, knowledgeable in the visual and aural arts, well educated, fluent in a number of languages, held in high esteem by his colleagues, friends, family, and the general public, and a most gracious gentleman. But he also had a delicious sense of humor; and his description of particular individuals and circumstances involving his professionalexperiences is worth reading this book for that alone. In the end, one comes to realize that Hollywood was still a business, counting every penny quite literally. It has been left to later generations to appreciate its creative side and the wondrous accomplishments of its almost limitless talents.From KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR to DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID with such notable films as THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD,DOUBLE INDEMNITY, SPELLBOUND, THE LOST WEEKEND, QUO VADIS, IVANHOE, JULIUS CAESAR, KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, VALLEY OF THE KINGS, BEN HUR, KING OF KINGS, EL CID, PROVIDENCE, and TIME AFTER TIME in between, here was a giant among giants of a tradition the likes of which we will never hear again.

    Miklos Rozsa
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2012*

I was doing some research on the composer, Miklos Rozsa. He is known for his film work on epics like Ben Hur, Quo Vadis, El Cid to name a few of the movies he scored, and he also was a serious concert composer. He came to America before WWII with the Korda brothers and became one of the great Hollywood movie composers. His book, "Double Life" is a great account of his career in film & and the concert hall. A very enjoyable read for me. Besides biblical or epic, historical pictures, he also scored some American film noir movies in the 40's. He also wrote a great score for the remake by Korda of "The Thief of Bagdad." His life story added to my knowledge of 20th century music. He was familar with the great composers & conductors of his time. He also left us some great film scores that are timeless.

    A GREAT READ ABOUT THE FINEST MOTION PICTURE COMPOSERS.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016*

A well written book, enjoyable, clear, and with a touch of "Hungarian" English, adding that bit of extra, natural colour. Most interesting about the life of perhaps The Greatest Motion Picture Composer, ever, so far. His genius shows through,but never, is it in any way, pushed or used, a most clean narrative, without any of the poor quality bad language, which seems to pervade, so called personality books.
