brilliantly played by Anton Karas .I've just watched him playing it on U tube at the Empress club in london. It must have been recorded a short while after the film was made in the fifties.Although Kars died in 1985.

I wish the credits for a film were at the end , not the beginning
If you read the credits you miss the film and visa versa

the music on bbcs 'northanger abbey' (1987) is like a drunk dire straits tribute band and is completely inapt for the story set in the early 1800's, 'chariots of fire' as i've mentioned before is also terrible-sounds like a bad keyboard player in a cheap greek nightclub!!

What a good idea! It's not just the theme music which is poor in Never Say Never Again - the entire score seems to bear no relation to the film it's attached to. I note that on Goldeneye a second composer had to be drafted in to supply more traditionally Bondian music to the tank chase scene. Eric Serra's music works pretty well in places, but it's not a CD a return to very often.

Bernard Hermann's piano clashing music for Obsession (other than that,he was a great composer - North By North West my fave).
Duke Ellington's irritating score for Assault On A Queen (again,a great composer,but film music wasn't his forte).
Goldeneye - the worst of the Bond scores.
Coronation Street.
Eastenders.
Worst of all is that stupid music on Cash In The Attic,Bargain Hunt.

'Bridge on the river Kwai'. The original music was superb but on the 'restored' version, particularly on the opening they use a Bontempi type synth. Grrrrr!!!
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

On which version is that atrocity? The DVD I have even has an isolated score on an extra audio track.

I have the VHS restored version and sadly cannot get rid of that damn bontempi.
