At the time, though a financial success, this film was only modestly supported by critics, and yet, over forty years on, it shines. If you watch carefully, you notice the intelligence of Jewison's direction - his camera is rarely static, the editing is fluid, and Oswald Morris Oscar winning cinematorpahy, rich and luminous. And on top of that it's just a darn good and evocative piece. One of the best transcriptions of a B-way musical to the screen.

[@summersoundtrack]

Did you know: This was the first film John Williams received an Oscar for. He would go on to win four more: JAWS, Star Wars Ep. IV, E.T., and Schindler's List. I am not sure how much of this particular piece is from the original play and how much is Williams' work.

Isaac Stern's playing is ace but what knocks me out is the music written by John Williams. He just had Jerry Bock's songs to adapt the whole movie score and what he brought us is a stand alone first class score, starting with this insane cadenza and concert-hall-worthy composition!

[@MarcoGonzalez-lp9xw]

Great music am half Jewish on my dad's side of the family, my grandad converted to the episcopal church to marry My grandma, who was Catholic and she also converted to Episcopalian

[@pbr2000]

John Williams is credited not for composing but for adapting and conducting the score, which he did brilliantly. While it's possible that Williams composed the overture's cadenza, it's just as possible it was composed by Jerry Bock, who wrote additional music for the film. The remainder of the music, beginning at 1:06, derives from the stage show, and can be heard heard on the 1964 Broadway cast CD as "The Wedding Dance" and on the 1967 London cast CD as "The Bottle Dance".

To play one single instrument such as this stringed-beauty, the violin, and make it dance as it is , incredible.

He's playing double stops. Very difficult to do. He probably started playing the violin when he was 3. Sounds like a child protégé. When you add in all the other instruments, it's amazing. The final chord is a pizzacato, harmonic!
