charon 4,943 Posted March 14, 2018 Timely bump. Enrico Ciacci dead at 75. Was given joint credit for the Trilogy guitar solos for Morricone, then Morricone was sued by the daughter of the joint creditor Pino Rucher saying it was all his work. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/a-fistful-euros-did-ennio-519439 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't find anything in the unwritten rules. I have no news whatsoever on this not particularly old or unwell composer, though I am a big fan of his evocative soundtracks. He'll die one day, I feel convinced of it. Oh look, it's on the front page. Will it be deleted, I ask myself? Merged with Eli Wallach, praps? I'm sad to have been proven correct after 7 years. Incidentally, and unsurprisingly, Chris Sarandon (for it was he) has therefore outlived Ennio. Still, he kept his thread.
