No special effects- that's really Coburn on the Torch of the Statue of Liberty, filmed by helicopter. Impossible today. Note the NYC Skyline- Radio Row was being demolished to make room for the World Trade Center as they filmed. This scene was beautifully shot; in fact the whole film had little nuggets of great cinematography, from the Assassination attempts in the field, to the "Cerebrum Communicator". Flicker's Best, although he is mostly remembered for "Barney Miller". (The Director of Photography, William A. Fraker, in the course of a year, made "The President's Analyst", "Rosemary's Baby", And "Bullitt". Wow.) It's a shame that "Look Up" never made it as a Christmas song; I still play it though. But I think that I know why- they didn't have "Music Videos" back then. They barely had Videos. The B&W Sony Portapak was just introduced in 1967, and not used here. Now as to Copyright Infringement- I think that I provided enough commentary to make a case for "Fair Use". Thank you, IMTMSven.
Actually there were music video equivalents called Scopitones-short films used to promote popular music in the vein of the MTV video. They were made and broadcast through the late 1960s on TV as well as on special video jukeboxes. Look them up on TH-cam. This would have made a great Scopitone!
I mean no copyright infringement, but I love this film and tried to find the song. It took me a bit to figure how but I succeeded in posting this song clip. As far as I can tell as of this posting, there is no buy-able soundtrack album of this original composition. Enjoy it as much as I do. And [not so] funny how TPC is quite relevant now except you can insert your own fave 3 letters.
Hi IMTMven - Was so delighted to find this post! I"m the lead singer on that vocal. One of my early solo gigs in film and TV. We never got screen credit in those days.
@@Singersal hi there, I know this is three years after your original post, but I just have to say that I agree with everyone who talks about how gorgeous your voice is. This song adds an air of sweetness, but also sophistication to the soundtrack, and I can’t watch the film without feeling that I wish that I could have been walking the streets with James Coburn and listening to this song on! Also, I don’t know if you are aware that there is a cover version of this song that is not as good as the original but is pretty wonderful all the same. It is on a CD compilation called Songs For the Jet Set volume 2. It was put out in either 1998 or 1999 by the Siesta label in Spain, but I think there was a US release. Anyway, the CD is full of groovy music, some of it original some of it cover versions. Look Up is the highlight!
@@davidserlin8097 Thanks so much for your kind words, David! I love hearing it still, too! It was a great privilege to sing on so many of Lalo's scores.
1967 was such a different world. Think of how small the human population was, how little technology had penetrated our lives (compared to now), how free the oceans were of plastic. Sigh!
J Edgar Hoover took against movie? Auld Lang Syne. My auld acquaintances will n'ere be forgot. For Gotch especially. My angry letter to myself about National Theatre's Othello with Scofield Kendal and was it Bryant as Iago? I forgot.
I have always loved this scene. Lalo was one of the greatest!
Such a great, under-appreciated movie...
Incredible Statue Of Liberty shot! Never seen it before. Surprised the scene isn't more well known. x
Thanks for the upload - you Sir, have taste! B-)
Awesome! One of my favorite movies. I saw it again last week and was hoping to find this song on YT. Thanks!
James Coburn could give Steve McQueen a run for his money when it came to being cool.

@@Singersal Gorgeous, delicate voice. I enjoy this tune so much!
@@alicediana3681 Thank you, dear Alice. All of Lalo's projects were great fun.

This movie has such a particular sense of humor. This song is absolutely ridiculous.
Where oh WHERE can I obtain this move UNCUT with the "Hostile Horror Happening" scene complete in it?
Anyone?
Can you kindly upload this movie here..so much appreciated
