Only Herrmann Can Do Herrmann!
by filmfactsman (August 3, 2005)
When Brian De Palma asked the great Bernard Herrmann to score his psycho thriller "Sisters" in 1973, he was rewarded with a masterful achievement. What Herrmann had previously done for Hitchcock, he did the same for De Palma (repeated in 1976 with the haunting scores for De Palma's "Obsession" and Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" [his last two films]). In many ways, "Sisters" offers some of the same pleasures of "Vertigo" and "Psycho". One of the most riveting scores composed for a slasher film, an homage to Herrmann's own legacy. The Criterion DVD release of Brian De Palma's "little masterpiece" again does justice to Herrmann's splendid, spooky score and reminds us that "Sisters" is one of the finest films to pay homage to many of Hitchcock's most memorable masterpieces.
