He was one of the earliest collaborators of Stanley Kubrick, dating back to the very early fifties. Gerald scored almost 300 films and television shows in a career spanning over 70 years. His movie scores include such varied titles as Machine Gun Kelly for Roger Corman, Jack Nicholson's first feature film The Cry Baby Killer, The Killing of Sister George, Too Late The Hero and The Grisson Gang, all three for director Robert Aldrich. His TV credits include some of the most popular shows being produced at the time including M Squad, Wagon Train, Gunsmoke, Gilligan's Island, The Man From Uncle, Mission Impossible, Lost In Space, Police Woman and Star Trek. He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Music with an original dramatic score for the feature-length documentary Birds Do It Bees Do it at the 1976 Academy Awards. The winner that year was John Williams for JAWS. Gerald also won an Emmy for his work with Quincy Jones on the ground-breaking mini-series Roots from 1977. Gerald composed the scores for five of Stanley Kubrick's earliest films making him one of Kubrick's most frequent collaborators. Fried and Kubrick first worked together as a composer and director partnership both at the age of just 23 on the short film Day of the Fight back in 1951, followed by four feature films, Fear and Desire, Killer's Kiss, The Killing and Paths of Glory.
