20,000 Vinyl LPs 123: Edward Hopper ~ The House by the Railroad in film
~The House by the Railroad - 1925
Art has always had a major influence on film; possibly the most famous example has been The House by the Railroad, by Edward Hopper. It is a fanciful portrait of the Second Empire Victorian home at 18 Conger Avenue in Haverstraw, New York.
The House by the Railroad has been cited as being an influence on the home in the Terrence Malick 1978 film Days of Heaven. It featured Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard and Linda Manz. The photograpy is stunning and the film won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
The score for Days of Heaven was written by Ennio Morricone who received his first Academy Award nomination in his soundtrack composing career for his work on this film. It astounds me that this is his first nomination (think Spaghetti Western or Dollars Trilogy) and that he has never received an award, period (link below).
In 1910, a Chicago steel worker accidentally kills his supervisor and flees to the Texas panhandle with his girlfriend and little sister to work harvesting wheat in the fields of a stoic farmer. It has been translated in many languages.
