This chapter depicts Steiner at the apex of his powers, just before the collapse of the Hollywood studio system. Between 1947 and 1948 Steiner composed several brilliant scores and at least three of his finest: for John Huston’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Jean Negulesco’s Johnny Belinda (which earned Jane Wyman a Best Actress Oscar), and Adventures of Don Juan, starring Errol Flynn in his last big-budget swashbuckler. Don Juan demonstrates the transformative power of film music: during production, the alcoholic Flynn could barely stand. But Steiner’s exuberant, lyrical, and witty score convinced audiences that Flynn remained a larger-than-life hero. In 1947, Steiner married Lee Blair, who would remain a devoted companion to the end of Max’s life. Steiner also lavished son Ronald with expensive gifts—giving the boy everything except what he wanted most: time with his father.
这一章描述了斯坦纳在他的权力的顶峰,就在好莱坞工作室系统崩溃之前。1947年至1948年间,施泰纳创作了几部出色的配乐,其中至少有三部是他最好的配乐:约翰·休斯顿的《马德雷山的宝藏》,让·内格里斯科的《约翰尼·贝琳达》(这部电影为简·怀曼赢得了奥斯卡最佳女主角奖),以及埃罗·弗林主演的《唐璜历险记》,这是他最后一部大制作的虚张声势的电影。《唐璜》展示了电影音乐的变革力量:在制作过程中,酗酒的弗林几乎站不起来。但斯坦纳那充满活力、抒情而诙谐的配乐让观众相信,弗林仍然是一位传奇英雄。1947年,斯坦纳与李·布莱尔结婚,直到马克斯生命的最后一刻,她都是马克斯忠实的伴侣。施泰纳还给儿子罗纳德买了很多贵重的礼物——除了他最想要的:和父亲在一起的时间,他什么都给了他。

The year 1936 would bring the most significant changes in Steiner’s life since his arrival in Hollywood. He was eager to accept an offer to be musical director at David O. Selznick’s new studio—but RKO refused to let him go. After months of intransigence on both sides, Max got his way. Steiner was thrilled to reteam with a producer who emphasized quality over quantity, with each title under Selznick’s personal supervision. For his part, Selznick knew that while his own movies were being shot, Steiner could be loaned—at considerable mark-up—to other studios. This mutually beneficial arrangement led to the happiest year of Max’s life: an Oscar-nominated score for Selznick’s The Garden of Allah; and, most fatefully from a professional perspective, a loan-out to Warner Bros., for its biggest release of 1936.
1936年将给斯坦纳的生活带来自他来到好莱坞以来最重大的变化。他渴望接受大卫·o·塞尔兹尼克新工作室的音乐总监一职,但RKO拒绝让他离开。经过双方数月的不妥协,马克斯终于如愿以偿。斯坦纳很高兴能与一位重视质量而非数量的制片人重新合作,每部作品都在塞尔兹尼克的亲自监督下完成。至于塞尔兹尼克,他知道,在他自己的电影拍摄期间,斯坦纳可以以相当高的价格被租借给其他电影公司。这种互惠互利的安排让马克斯度过了一生中最快乐的一年:塞尔兹尼克的《阿拉的花园》获得了奥斯卡提名;从专业角度来看,最重要的是,1936年,华纳兄弟(Warner Bros)发行了这部电影。

This chapter juxtaposes Steiner’s intense correspondence with his estranged wife—then living in New York, and hoping to begin a singing career at age 35—with the emotional power of his scores of the time. They include They Died with Their Boots On, starring Errol Flynn (a rare western Steiner loved scoring, thanks to its rich characterizations), and Now, Voyager, the peak of his work with Bette Davis. The latter score earned Steiner a second Oscar, and partially fulfilled one of his unrealized ambitions: authorship of a popular song. After nearly a decade of battles with ASCAP—which still refused to collect royalties for film music—Now, Voyager’s hit song “It Can’t Be Wrong” yielded Steiner much-needed royalties from sheet music sales and recordings. But these earnings could not save him from mounting debt or convince Louise to return to him.
这一章将斯坦纳与分居的妻子——当时他住在纽约,希望在35岁时开始歌唱生涯——的密切通信与他当时乐谱的情感力量并列。其中包括由埃罗尔·弗林(Errol Flynn)主演的《穿着靴子赴死》(斯坦纳罕见地喜欢为他的西部片配乐,这要归功于片中丰富的人物塑造),以及与贝蒂·戴维斯(Bette Davis)合作的《现在,旅行者》(Now, Voyager),这是他的巅峰之作。后者为施泰纳赢得了第二个奥斯卡奖,并部分实现了他未实现的野心:创作一首流行歌曲。在与美国电影音乐协会(ascap)进行了近十年的斗争之后——后者仍然拒绝收取电影音乐的版税——现在,“旅行者”的热门歌曲“它不可能是错的”为斯坦纳带来了急需的乐谱销售和唱片版税。但是这些收入并不能使他摆脱越来越多的债务,也不能说服露易丝回到他身边。

Battles Won and Lost 胜利与失败
Pub Date : 2020-06-18 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780190623272.003.0013

This chapter begins with a concise history of Warner Bros.—its inception, its combative founders, and the key role that music played in the studio’s releases. Steiner’s first work at Warners, The Charge of the Light Brigade, would be another milestone—a grand action-adventure score foreshadowing contemporary film music. Despite a tight deadline, and high expectations from producer Hal Wallis, Steiner triumphed, which made his return to Selznick all the more crushing. David’s increasing micromanagement extended to music; and Max was devastated when the producer who had called himself Steiner’s “biggest fan” eviscerated his score for A Star Is Born, Selznick’s latest film. A proud (if often insecure) individual, Steiner resigned his post at Selznick but stressed to the producer his desire to remain friends. His motives were not solely personal. Max knew that Selznick was about to film the most successful novel of the decade: Gone with the Wind.
本章以华纳兄弟公司的简史开始——它的成立,它好斗的创始人,以及音乐在工作室发行中所起的关键作用。斯坦纳在华纳的第一部作品《冲锋轻骑兵》将成为另一个里程碑——一部宏大的动作冒险配乐,为当代电影音乐奠定了基础。尽管最后期限很紧,制片人哈尔·沃利斯也对他寄予厚望,但斯坦纳还是取得了胜利,这让他重返塞尔兹尼克更加令人沮丧。大卫越来越多的微观管理延伸到了音乐领域;当塞尔兹尼克的最新电影《一个明星的诞生》中,自称是施泰纳“最忠实的粉丝”的制片人对他的配乐一笔抹杀时,马克斯彻底崩溃了。斯坦纳是一个骄傲的人(虽然经常缺乏安全感),他辞去了在塞尔兹尼克的职位,但向制片人强调,他希望继续做朋友。他的动机不完全是个人的。马克斯知道塞尔兹尼克即将拍摄十年来最成功的小说《乱世佳人》。

Fighting for Steiner 为斯坦纳而战

By 1938, Steiner was showing the strain of nonstop work. At home, the presence of his demanding father put strains on Max’s marriage. And although he scored many of Warner Bros.’ most prestigious releases—Dark Victory and the epic western Dodge City are among the works analyzed here—Steiner balked whenever he felt “demoted” and forced to score “westerns and prison pictures.” In March 1939, David O. Selznick decided that he wanted Steiner to score Gone with the Wind. In a revealing letter included in this chapter, Steiner begged Jack Warner to permit this loan-out, “to regain the prestige” he felt he had lost. In Warner’s reply—also included—the mogul praised Steiner as “the best musical composer in the industry,” while reminding him that “the public” were their “most important judges.” Indeed, many of the films Steiner disparaged are now considered classics.
到1938年,斯坦纳已经显露出无休止工作的压力。在家里,父亲的苛求给马克斯的婚姻带来了压力。尽管他为华纳兄弟许多最负盛名的影片配乐——《黑暗的胜利》和史诗般的西部电影《道奇城》都在本文分析的作品之列——但每当他感到“被降级”,被迫为“西部和监狱电影”配乐时,斯坦纳就会退缩。1939年3月,大卫·o·塞尔兹尼克决定让施泰纳为《乱世佳人》配乐。在本章中收录的一封揭露真相的信中,斯坦纳恳求杰克·华纳允许他出借,以“重获”他认为已经失去的“声望”。在华纳的回复中(也包括在内),这位大亨称赞斯坦纳是“业内最好的音乐作曲家”,同时提醒他“公众”是他们“最重要的评委”。事实上,许多被斯坦纳贬低的电影现在都被认为是经典。

A Jewish Aloha 犹太人的阿罗哈

In 1953, at age 65, Steiner learned that Warner Bros. would not be renewing his contract. After 16 years as a staff composer, he was forced to freelance—an especially daunting challenge given his age and failing eyesight. This chapter focuses on the plight of a proud but increasingly debilitated man forced to reinvent himself, in an industry obsessed with youth and novelty. Still massively in debt, Steiner sought a fresh start in multiple ventures: his own publishing company (a flop) and another attempt at a hit song for a major film (The Caine Mutiny; Oscar nomination for score, but no hit record, alienating its makers). Fortunately, Jack Warner was willing to bring Steiner back to his studio on a per-film basis. The resulting scores belied Steiner’s age, culminating in his final screen masterwork: John Ford’s The Searchers.
1953年,65岁的斯坦纳得知华纳兄弟不会与他续约。在做了16年的特约作曲家后,他被迫成为自由职业者——考虑到他的年龄和视力下降,这是一个特别艰巨的挑战。这一章关注的是一个骄傲但日益衰弱的人的困境,他被迫在一个痴迷于年轻和新奇的行业中重塑自我。仍然债台高筑的斯坦纳在多个领域寻求新的开始:他创办了自己的出版公司(失败了),又一次尝试为一部大电影(《凯恩兵变》;奥斯卡最佳配乐提名,但没有热门唱片,这让它的制作人感到疏远)。幸运的是,杰克·华纳愿意以每部电影的形式把斯坦纳请回他的工作室。最终的分数掩盖了斯坦纳的年龄,在他的最后一部银幕杰作:约翰·福特的《搜索者》中达到顶峰。

Orchids in the Moonlight 月光下的兰花

After producing too many movie musicals at the dawn of sound, Hollywood had virtually abandoned the genre by 1932. Steiner was convinced that the public was eager to see a well-made musical—and after the success of Warner Bros.’ 42nd Street in March 1933, he had a chance to prove it. The visually extravagant Melody Cruise was only a modest hit, but it opened the door for a cinematic breakthrough at RKO: Flying Down to Rio, which paired Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers for the first time. This chapter details the swift evolution of movie musical production and Steiner’s role in it, as he and his team experimented with pre-recording music to be used as “playback” during filming. During Rio’s making, the twice-divorced Steiner began a romance with studio harpist Louise Klos. It would become one of the most significant, and complicated, relationships in Max’s life.
在有声电影诞生之初,好莱坞制作了太多的电影音乐剧,到1932年,好莱坞实际上已经放弃了这一类型。斯坦纳确信公众渴望看到一部制作精良的音乐剧——在1933年3月华纳兄弟的《第42街》大获成功后,他有机会证明这一点。视觉上奢华的梅洛迪·克鲁斯只是一个普通的成功,但它为RKO的电影突破打开了大门:飞往里约,弗雷德·阿斯泰尔和金格·罗杰斯第一次搭档。本章详细介绍了电影音乐制作的快速演变以及斯坦纳在其中的作用,因为他和他的团队在拍摄期间试验了预先录制的音乐作为“回放”。在制作《里约》期间,离过两次婚的斯坦纳与录音室竖琴手路易丝·克洛斯(Louise Klos)开始了一段恋情。这将成为马克斯一生中最重要、最复杂的关系之一。

Breaking Point 断裂点

GWTW restored Steiner to the top rank of film composers; and in 1940, Jack Warner assigned him to a series of A-pictures that remain jewels in that studio’s crown. In assessing scores for such movies as The Letter and Sergeant York, this chapter details the instrumental experimentation Steiner used to create fresh sounds (an aspect of his work often neglected). Max also was overjoyed to become a father: son Ronald, he hoped, would continue the Steiner musical dynasty. But years of nonstop work, worsening financial problems, and failing eyesight led the composer to suffer a breakdown in 1941. According to Louise, Steiner—usually a kind and generous man—exploded in a rage, striking his wife with a glass ashtray and hitting her in an apparent mental breakdown. Their subsequent separation initiated years of personal unhappiness, amid one of the most creative periods of Steiner’s life.
GWTW使施泰纳重回电影作曲家的巅峰;1940年,杰克·华纳(Jack Warner)指派他拍摄一系列a级影片,这些影片至今仍是华纳公司王冠上的明珠。在评估《信》和《约克中士》等电影的配乐时,本章详细介绍了施泰纳用来创造新鲜声音的乐器实验(他作品中经常被忽视的一个方面)。马克斯也为成为父亲而欣喜若狂:他希望儿子罗纳德能延续施泰纳音乐王朝。但多年不间断的工作、日益恶化的经济问题和视力下降导致这位作曲家在1941年遭受了精神崩溃。据露易丝说,斯泰纳——通常是一个善良慷慨的人——勃然大怒,用玻璃烟灰缸打他的妻子,打得她明显精神崩溃。他们随后的分离开始了多年的个人不快乐,这是斯坦纳一生中最有创造力的时期之一。

Today, the performance of film music is a staple of symphony concert programming. In 1943, it was an anomaly. That year, Steiner was invited to conduct the New York Philharmonic for a potential audience of twenty thousand at Lewisohn Stadium. But for Max, the concert proved a humiliating disaster, due to the orchestra’s open hostility toward a “Hollywood” composer, and the addition to the program of 27-year-old Frank Sinatra. More teen idol than respected singer at the time, Sinatra inspired Beatles-like screaming from his fans throughout the concert, upstaging Steiner.

今天,电影音乐的表演是交响音乐会节目的主要内容。在1943年,这是一个反常现象。那一年,斯坦纳受邀在路易斯松体育场指挥纽约爱乐乐团,听众可能有2万人。但对马克斯来说,这场音乐会被证明是一场耻辱的灾难,因为乐团公开敌视一位“好莱坞”作曲家,而且27岁的弗兰克·辛纳屈(Frank Sinatra)也加入了演出。在当时,辛纳屈与其说是受人尊敬的歌手,不如说是青少年偶像。在整个演唱会上,辛纳屈激发了歌迷们像披头士一样的尖叫,抢了施泰纳的风头。接下来是一系列的个人灾难:马克斯深爱的父亲去世,他自己的健康危机,以及似乎无法克服的债务。音乐再次拯救了施泰纳。1944年的电影《自从你离开》是他与塞尔兹尼克的最后一次合作,为麦克斯赢得了第三座奥斯卡。但在影片上映后不久,斯坦纳就被路易丝想要离婚的消息震惊了。

This chapter focuses on transitions both personal and creative for Steiner. After his divorce from Louise, Max found happiness with a new companion, former singer Lee Blair. The end of World War II marked a change in Hollywood filmmaking styles, and Steiner responded to the darker, more mature movies being produced at Warner Bros. with a leaner, less Wagnerian style. Film noir titles like Howard Hawks’s The Big Sleep and Michael Curtiz’s Mildred Pierce benefited greatly from Max’s scoring, which added propulsive energy and extra layers of character illumination. But Steiner’s obsession with work, and his late-night gambling with friends like composer Victor Young, distracted Max from a growing problem at home: the erratic behavior of his emotionally troubled son, Ronald.
这一章着重于斯坦纳个人和创造性的转变。与露易丝离婚后,马克斯与一位新伴侣——前歌手李·布莱尔一起找到了幸福。第二次世界大战的结束标志着好莱坞电影制作风格的变化,斯坦纳以一种更精简、更少瓦格纳风格的方式回应华纳兄弟制作的更黑暗、更成熟的电影。像霍华德·霍克斯的《大沉睡》和迈克尔·柯蒂斯的《米尔德里德·皮尔斯》这样的黑色电影都从麦克斯的得分中受益匪浅,他的得分增加了推进力和角色照明的额外层次。但施泰纳对工作的痴迷,以及他和作曲家维克多·杨(Victor Young)等朋友深夜赌博的习惯,分散了马克斯对一个日益严重的家庭问题的注意力:他情绪不佳的儿子罗纳德(Ronald)的古怪行为。
