One of Mr. Goldsmith’s best. May he RIP.

It's not John Williams who deserves these comparisons. It's Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, Miklos Rozsa, and - especially - Bernard Herrmann.

Beautiful score, lousy movie. The movie had a lousy script, which sought to sell viewers on the ridiculous notion that the resistance liberated Paris. We liberated Paris. The resistance killed the Gerries with kindness. The movie had too many big names hanging around with nothing of value to do. The resistance crap was a running theme in my childhood. In The Great Escape, resistance fighters kill German officers at a Parisian outdoor cafe, and save one of the only three escapees to get away in one piece, and Combat!, by far the best WWII TV series, wasted too many episodes promoting resistance fairy tales. One exception: "The Convict." The resistance story was the usual b.s., but Gilbert Roland was wonderful, in the title role.

Gregory Peck portrayed the Joseph Mengele of popular culture: He wore a white suit, had a jungle fortress, along with minions to do his biding. The real Joseph Memgele kept a low Profile.

Great sound band¡¡¡ and great movie¡¡¡

"The world's a stage. You're unrehearsed."

Hope for the best, expect the worst Some drink champagne, some die of thirst No way of knowing which way it's going Hope for the best, expect the worst! Hope for the best, expect the worst The world's a stage, we're unrehearsed Some reach the top, friends, while others drop, friends Hope for the best, expect the worst! I knew a man who saved a fortune that was splendid Then he died the day he planned to go and spend it Shouting "Live while you're alive! No one will survive!" Life is sorrow-here today and gone tomorrow Live while you're alive, no one will survive-there's no guarantee Hope for the best; expect the worst. The rich are blessed; the poor are cursed That is a fact, friends, the deck is stacked, friends Hope for the best, expect the… Even with a good beginning, it's not certain that you're winning. Even with the best of chances, they can kick you in the pantses Look out for the- Watch out for the worst! Hey!

Reminds me of the Curb theme

I think this is a solid life philosophy

OCTOBER 7 2023 , / DON'T NEED THE WESTERN -HAMAS COALITION/ WTF IS GOING ON?

Is there a musicologist out there who can tell the difference between Jerry Goldsmith's MacArthur march and John Williams's 1941 march? The 1941 march gets a lot more distribution and can even be heard on terrestrial radio now and then. But this is another case where Jerry's only real competition was himself: Patton was a better movie with a better march.

Maurice’s finest work

This was my father's motto.

Maurice Jarre and Micheal Legrand are the best movie soundtrack composers I know of. This soundtrack is beautiful and exquisite in its construction.

"Hope for the best, expect the worst" Me going into any Netflix series adapted from existing media

Extraordinary! Unfairly relegated in the grand prizes.

G-D it was horrible

feel a lot older now

was going over ravensbruck in 2019

One of my all time favourite Goldsmith scores, waltzes, scherzos, marches, wielded into a dark fantasia that is uniquely the Masters own. Thank you.

Amazon

This one too ,etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

One of Mel Brooks’s best. I feel he peaked with Young Frankenstein and has been rehashing movie parodies (and size jokes) since then. (I also think Woody Allen’s early movies were his best.)

My favorite Titanic movie. I watched this so many times as a kid, not a film too many 90s kids grew up with but I was special..

Is Paris burning?!^^!

You can hear Wagner's Ring through out

Frank Langella, who worked with Brooks on this movie, performed this for Brooks at the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors.

미국의 비만 문제 신속히 해결해야 한다 ㅋㅋ

I never saw this movie but it brings back some strong memories of my father playing this theme song on the record player back in 1966😊

This used to be for free on KZbin and so many other good ones now the forcing us to pay for it I will never and nobody else should

Se nota que se ha inspirado en Richard Strauss y su Caballero de la Rosa.

Gregory Peck great performance

Goldsmith is as great since "The Man from UNCLE" soundtrack here. And the main piece could be summorized and also called "Der Führerwaltz". The music here is as intryguing as the movie.

Well, in all likelihood, the Supreme Court of The United States will rule on student loan forgiveness tomorrow morning. Here’s to hoping for the best, and waking up to the worst.

Regrettably, my philosophy of life. It could be better, but it ain't!

Make no mistake, this is genius.

With how often "no one will survive" is repeated in the opening song, you'd kind of expect the movie not to pretend that the whole "Would you kill to be rich?" conflict of the original book never existed...

Goldsmith's music is smooth, always full of sound, and he doesn't just follow the movie scenes literally. Him and John Williams are the best modern composers. You have to go back to Ben Hur 1959 to beat them.

This recording is missing the title music! Missing the bridge and then coda to the waltz. Really would like to hear JUST the title music, which is a complete waltz.

Outstanding paraphrase of Richard Strauss music! :)

Me hubiera gustado estar allí en esa época.

I'm glad that Mel Brooks is still, at this moment in February 2023, not experiencing " the worst'

My theme song in this stage of my life, lol. Cheers. To life.

I got to shake hands with Goldsmith backstage in 1983. He signed my program and was very polite. A happy memory.

Patton and Mac Arthur USA 🇺🇸 LEGEND

Epic

Is BFB a rehearsal for Alien?

Yes...YES...YES!!!!!

Goldsmith scored everything as if he thought it was the best movie ever. He never shirked.
