Magnificent

[@barrybrown9104]

The type of soundtrack and movie we will never see again.

Check out my comment above in the comments section about that! 😊

I was a young boy full of hope and anticipating a very great future like the Jetsons TV cartoon of 1962.

[@luislaplume8261]

In a time in my old hometown of NYC during the Mad Men era of the 1960s of a middle aged man remembering several decades before when he was a young boy full of hope for the future but it turned out different for him by 1962 when I myself was in the first grade. In a way I feel like him also, out of place and time. 😢

Stupendous! Thank you for posting.

The great Uan Rasey on trumpet in one of film's most brilliant openings. Mitchum, Previn, Robert Wise, Ted McCord at the top of their game.

Dick Nash on trombone.

[@padroneoso]

@@brucekuehn4031 Dick Nash may be the greatest studio trombone player of all time, especially memorable in his work on the theme song to another Mitchum picture, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY, and in DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES.

@@padroneoso Yes, and sometimes referred to as “Mancini’s favorite trombonist”. He is 96 yrs old.

Just perfect! A no-words introduction into movie's climate!

[@24hourtourist]

This film score, a sort of center piece of a blues-y triptych formed by his previous "The Subterraneans" and "The Fortune Cookie" later, shows Andre Previn at his best. Listen closely for a truly heartfelt performance by Uan Rasey on trumpet. :-)

[@Valdez244]

A beautiful opening sequence, but with a director of Robert Wise calibre, I would expect nothing less and Previn's scoring is perfection.

3 minutes without a word

[@jimmyj1969]

How to introduce a character (within the first 3 min of the movie), using only images and music - w/o a single word! THIS is called cinema!

[@charlywobershalek7142]

This would make a perfect trailer for a Frank Sinatra album, too. Robert Mitchum, who only has to walk and glance at what's going on, a real star with a presence like hardly anyone. He was quite capable of carrying a tune himself, by the way. Thank you, Steve!

So soothing, helps me sleep

A timeless peak into relationship concerns...

What was Shirley maclaine's nickname was it getle

[@padroneoso]

Gittel Mosca, a role (most of you probably know) originated on Broadway by Anne Bancroft, opposite Henry Fonda.

[@EricLehner]

They don’t make this style of melancholy anymore ....

Can’t I have a second chance? I won’t ask for any more. Can’t you give a second chance When you’ve had three or four? Perhaps you couldn’t tell it was love, Well, it was love with me. But now it’s turn about I’m out. Does it have to be? Can’t I have a second chance? It’s so little to demand. Won’t you take a second glance, Then you might understand You’re more than just an end of the road, Friend of the road with me. You’re my first my one romance, Can’t I have a second chance?
