Juarez Overture


Erich Korngold's beautiful "Juarez" overture, nearly 6 minutes in length and played during the original reserved-seat engagements, is available on YouTube. It is a shame that the cut segments from the 132-minute roadshow version appear to be lost - I understand from reading Bette Davis' book "The Lonely Life" that the cut scenes involved Maximilian and Carlotta (beautifully played by Brian Aherne and Davis.) It would be wonderful to see this film restored to the original roadshow presentation.
