More quotes by Elmer Bernstein
All of a sudden I found myself doing things like 'Robot Monster' and 'Cat-Women of the Moon,' and I didn't know what the devil was going on. But if you're going to do areally bad movie, at least you do one that is at the top of the all-time bad-movie list.
Elmer Bernstein

Elmer Bernstein
I'm generally pessimistic about the dumbing down of America - especially with summer movies.
Elmer Bernstein
I would do the occasional score. I thought it was the most thrilling thing. It was instant. You made the music and they played it right away to millions of people. I found it thrilling.
