David Hentschel: Main & End Title music from Operation Daybreak (1975)

[@JBM5934]

One of the best films that I have ever seen and I speak as an octogenarian.

[@zerstorer7527]

Agree 200%

[@russellfernandes9607]

Absolutely !!!

[@Nirsterkur]

Agreed!

[@warmecanic]

DAmn straight, the film is great

[@SriAiyerRS]

I had the pleasure of taking my Big Daddy, a retired Armyman [my dad's elder brother] to this Movie. He thoroughly enjoyed it and thanked me giving me a hug. Any number of times I watch this movie it gives me goosebumps and makes me teary eyed. What a movie! OPERATION DAYBREAK.

[@GILLY56ify]

Just been watching this film again - It is very underrated with some really good acting from many of the principals involved. The loss of life resulting from the retaliatory actions by the Nazis at the time was horrendous and should never be forgotten

[@tonyfendex2558]

I still don't understand why this film hasn't been updated and remastered

[@johnf3885]

This was a stunning film directed by Lewis Gilbert with an incredible cast. Anton Differing was much older in the role then Heydrich but played a superb role. It told the story of the incredible bravery and suffering of the Czech people. The musical score seems initially to be out of keeping with a war story but actually it as authenticity and an ability to emphasise tension and ultimately personal loss. I think it's a breathtaking score up there with the great movie themes. I don't know how well the film did at the box office but I always thought it was underrated. And subsequent remakes haven't equaled its brilliant storytelling.

[@vittalpuranik1930]

It ran for 50 days and two ✌ more weeks at galaxy70 mm on residency road bangalore definetly not for casual viewers!

[@pramodnatu]

When I visited PRAGUE a few years back it was touching to see people still visit the site of the Church where the fighters had holed up and the bullet marks all over the ventilation slit. Fresh flowers are placed on the small monument every day

[@TheVaughan5]

Interesting you should make this comment. I was surprised how quiet it was around the Church while the touristic parts of the city were so overcrowded. I assume most visitors are totally unaware of it's existence and it's part in history but that's not surprising considering the lack of historical knowledge by the majority these days. So glad I had an education which included the important facts of human endeavour and sacrifice for the benefit of others.

[@pramodnatu]

Those who are interested in the history will always like to visit such places where History was made.When I was visiting Amsterdam in group tour with fellow Indians I suggested we visit the Ann Frank Museum that was not in the tour schedule. Most fellow visitors asked who was Ann Frank. While I was visiting Italy and visiting Florence I asked the guide if we can visit Mount Casino. He told no one in the group would know what is there at Mounte Casino

[@ranijhansijhansi4044]

I missed seeing this church when I visited Prague 3 years ago . Where exactly this church is located ? But I saw this move when I was a high school student in India

[@pramodnatu]

@@ranijhansijhansi4044 I had gone by Kesari Tours and the Church was not in the itinerary. No one in the entire bus was aware of the existence of Church and the memorial. I quietly requested the guide to take the bus via the Church. She agreed but told me to speak about because she is not authorized to change the route. But she, being the Chech was very happy to show me the place. She told the driver and he quietly changed the route and brought the bus to the Church. It stopped exactly close the opposite footpath, I hurriedly got down and crossing the road went to the slit where hundreds of bullet marks are still visible. Fresh flowers were placed bellow the image of the two Parachutists. With heavy heart I left the place. Nice to know your from the brave town of Jhasi is interested in history.

[@anindyar05]

Absolutely in awe of this soundtrack since my teen days when i first saw the movie. ...brilliant. .

[@jamesstuart5904]

Glad you found it.

[@tonyfendex2558]

It's fantastic. Happy I found it too!!!

[@leecrane8637]

I absolutely love this theme both the synth at the start and the emotional piece at the final climax so heart rending . I have visited St Cyrils church and the crypt it is a amazing place to visit and pay homage to some very brave men who paid the ultimate price for freedom from tyranny.

[@RobDavisTelford]

Yes I went there especially having read Anthony Burgess's book and seen the movie. It was such a profound experience to stand in that crypt and imagine the parachutists being there and up in the balcony area. And then to learn a year or so ago that Nicola Pagett had died.

[@jerryemt2001]

I loved this sound track from the first time I saw this movie as a teen in mid 70s. Thanks!

[@jamesstuart5904]

Glad you found it : )

[@OperationFoxley19441]

Are there any others you could get from this film!!

[@rogerivanmirandacreeggan7581]

1977!!

[@neilcharman1139]

The most moving end scene I have ever seen

[@tonyfendex2558]

I don't know if the most moving of all time, BUT at least it's one of the best ever!! But it's VERY POWERFUL SCENE. Glad that so many of us can still enjoy it much!!!

[@roybrignall3059]

What a film nothing can beat this best war film off all time

[@jamesstuart5904]

I am not sure it is the best war film of all time (there are quite a few good ones!), but it certainly is the best on the Heydrich assassination.

[@yottwr6108]

I was a child of 6 watching this on British TV. Lidice still hasn't been forgotten by me.

[@koushikibhattacharya7305]

Watched this when was in seventh grade. Still gives goosebumps

[@anwarullakhayoom7863]

Saw this movie in 70s with my father a Warrant officer from Airforce , even today the ambush scene and music echos in my ears.

[@luanjorge1529]

I watched this movie on my birthday for the first time. Incredible how 70s movies are magical!

[@russellfernandes9607]

Thanks James 👍 Got goosebumps during the opening credits the first time I saw the film. Superb movie great performances - does justice to the heroes who laid down their lives.

[@jamesstuart5904]

It's a great score. Glad you found it

[@Parsley1000]

Authentic film. Very tense, and the ending....... well. Nice music. David Hentschel used to produce Genesis albums i do believe.

[@wattage2007]

A great film depicting heroes let down by treacherous filth.

[@nickxcore74]

Agreed. How anyone could collaborate with the evil Nazi’s is truly beyond me.

[@ianhillman5556]

Marvelous music for a brilliant film

[@tonyfendex2558]

Yes. I really love this movie.

[@trevorjohnson9397]

The theme complement a great film 🎥 well done to all the acting is superb quality God bless you all

[@cubeweaver]

Quite a contrast between the opening and ending themes! One is suspense while other is emotional!

[@jamesstuart5904]

Indeed. The sythn in main title portrays the brutality and evil of the Nazi regime in Czechoslovakia. The orchestral end title gives us a bit of hope.

[@peachypaul64]

Why on earth has this superlative score never been released commercially?

[@flyboy2880]

Brilliant film and an even better soundtrack.

[@olengagallardo8551]

Anton Derfring and Timothy Bottoms were just brilliant!

[@purot309]

Love the movie and the soundtrack.

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

brilliant, classic, underrated film :) bit of a b-grade feel, but that's not a criticism, it adds to the appeal and authentic feel of it....awesome music and action...saw it in the late 70s as a kid up late one night on tv :)) PS - Nicola Pagett = yum

[@philliphopkins6903]

Absolutely Beautiful ❤

[@sushrutbawkar5437]

[@sayedmoses2659]

thanks for an great music. i loved that music so much

[@cameronmonaghan6883]

Just saw this film for the first time. It's quite epic and suspenseful. I'm not sure what to make of the soundtrack but the end theme is a gut wrench. Especially when you read the bios of what actually happened during the credits.

[@jamesstuart5904]

Yes, the end titles were quite powerful with a full orchestra. All the other tracks were electronic.

[@BaudryPatrice-v7k]

1 film exellent et védique reconstitution parfaite❤❤❤❤❤

[@hswee7356]

Life time best movie, at least on of them. Watched when I was in an elemetary school. It is quite odd this movie was extremely popular in my country, South Korea. Ending theme was just heart breaking...

[@jamesstuart5904]

HS, I agree with you. A very dramatic ending.

[@FreeBird-ws2ye]

Maybe because its An Jung-guen's killing of a Japanese colonial politician

[@OperationFoxley19441]

THANKYOU!!!! Merry Christmas!

You're welcome. Glad you found it. Just in case you have not seen it, I have a 'War Themes' playlist of unreleased (or rare) film music from UK, US, Polish, Czech, German, etc, movies. Enjoy. kzbin.info/aero/PLs3T-t417YhSK8RYBFtxL1-MwB6XNIrOS

Awesome, classic movie 🤩

[@westwind786]

I listen to this lyric again and again and I cant get enough, what a nice movie. I love every minute.

[@JackieEvanchoVideo]

Actually I read it that the original Title Sound Track is damaged from the movie archived and a fresh replicate is created what we are hearing it. Would love to see this movie again & again but not available in any website.

[@maheralazzawi7814]

Great

[@jondellar]

I know that to some, the "synth approach" dates the film but there is something deeply scary about that main theme. It conveys the cold vileness of Heydrich and the dread of the Nazis.

[@jamesstuart5904]

The main title with it's very ominous sound works perfectly in representing the horror of Heydrich and the Nazis.

[@sandralewis4190]

SUCH A BRILLIANT FILM YET SO SAD

[@renebolanos302]

[@johnflynn5044]

[@dleopard666]

Does anyone know if this movie's soundtrack is available on CD or for downloading? Watched this movie many years ago as a kid and the music of when Heydrich is being dressed up still comes to me every now and again.

[@jamesstuart5904]

Alas, no tapes survive. Or at least in a good enough condition to release : (
