Paul Sawtell

Paul Sawtell (February 3, 1906August 1, 1971) was a Polish film score composer.

Sawtell began his career with RKO, and eventually joined Universal Pictures. Sawtell worked on many western and horror films, and also scored the Sherlock Holmes films "The Pearl of Death" and "The Scarlet Claw". In the late 1940s, Sawtell returned to RKO. He also worked for various independent producers, including Eagle-Lion Films' production of "T-Men" (1947). In the late 1950s, Sawtell struck up an alliance with fellow film composer Bert Shefter and they produced many film scores together. Most notably they provided the music to classic science fiction and horror films including "Kronos", "The Fly", "Curse of the Fly", "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (in cooperation with producer Irwin Allen), and "It! The Terror from Beyond Space" in 1958. In 1965 they composed some scores for the director Russ Meyer, such as the cult classic "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" and "Motorpsycho". The last score they provided was for the Mexican film "Emiliano Zapata" in 1970 shortly before Sawtell's death.
