HERBIE MARKS & DICK CARR - Tunnel Thro the Mountains' 7"
recorded in the 50ies - a rare piece of wax
Staged scenes and extended re-enactments or reconstructions were not unusual in documentaries of the time. The scene enacted here is certainly exaggerated for effect â with instruments made from a bottle, a washing board and a box of dynamite â but the essence at its heart conveys a truth about the lives, friendships and cultures of the workers who lived on the mountains during the Schemeâs construction. This is a romantic twist on social realism.
While it is not clear whether âTunnel throâ the mountainsâ was written especially for the film, the lyrics, written by Ralph Peterson who also co-scripted the film, provide narration-in-song and reveal the workersâ experiences on the mountain. The music was co-written by Herbie Marks and Dick Carr.
