I am one of those movie nerds who stays for the credits and sometimes even buys the soundtracks to movies. That name sounds familiar because his father was esteemed film composer Elmer Bernstein who composed or arranged over 200 film scores from The Ten Commandments to Animal House to Ghostbusters. It is 38 years later and that was the scene at the Auditorium Theatre this weekend, when Ghostbusters was played with orchestral accompaniment from the Chicago Philharmonic, conducted by Peter Bernstein.
The film became a blockbuster that has fans in tan jumpsuits and proton packs with particle accelerators on their backs. Ghostbusters (1984) had 1980s New York written all over it. Shoulder pads, big hair, crossover music, and it seemed that every big movie was set in New York.
