Gerald Fried

Composer Gerald Fried talked about his early work of Stanley Kubrick's first films, including his pulsating score for The Killing. Fried then discussed his work as a composer for television that began at Revue Studios. He described his continued composing for television in the 1960s, highlighted by such series as Gilligan's Island (including one episode where he had musicians blow into bottles to simulate sea shell instruments) and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (including an episode entirely done with kazoos). He spoke in great detail about his work on the classic science fiction series Star Trek, for which he was one of the most significant contributors. He discussed his scores for such classic episodes as "Shore Leave" and "Amok Time." Additionally, he spoke about his later work for television movies and miniseries (including Roots).
