Digitmovies release for the first time on CD Mario Nascimbene's original soundtrack for the film L'arciere Delle Mille E Una Notte ("The Golden Arrow") and from the TV series La Lotta Dell'uomo Per La Sua Sopravvivenza ("The Fight For Survival"). Mario Nascimbene (1913-2002) was one of the biggest names in international film music and was the first Italian to enter through the golden gates of Hollywood. He set the music to films such as Farewell to Arms, Alexander the Great, The Barefoot Contessa, and The Vikings. For the fantasy film The Golden Arrow, Nascimbene wrote a brief symphonic OST, dominated by an epic main theme for the young protagonist Hassan. The whole story is highlighted by magical and adventurous themes with an orchestra and a choir. In the background music the author intervenes with electronic effects that create the atmosphere of Arabian Nights. The film was directed in 1962 by Antonio Margheriti. For The Fight For Survival, Nascimbene composed background music based on the main theme of "The Fight For Survival". The series contained pieces of repertoire, segments of Mixerama, an instrument invented by the composer in his study La Meridiana in Rome, as well as original music that unfortunately was not possible to locate. On the stereo master tapes of the recording sessions, Digitmovies found four surviving tracks of great artistic value. There were four versions of "The Fight For Survival" including the version from the opening credits, one in slow tempo, one in shake interpreted by the beautiful voice of Shirley Bassey and accompanied by the Folkstudio singers choir, and an instrumental version. For fans of Shirley Bassey and James Bond it is undoubtedly a great recovery. The series was written and created in 1970 by Roberto Rossellini, and narrated by Pino Locchi.
