With the release of Liza Johnson's new drama comedy "Elvis&Nixon" - a look at America in December 1970 - Matthew Sweet reflects on the score for this, and for other films actually made in this year. A year that brought us the likes of "Love Story", "Airport", "M*A*S*H", "Soldier Blue"; "Ryan's Daughter", "Kelly's Heroes", "A Man Called Horse", "Chisum"; "The Music Lovers", "Valerie and Her Week of Wonders" and "The Railway Children".

The Classic Score of the Week is Frank Cordell's music for "Cromwell".
