RIP Lawrence Hauben (March 3, 1931 - December 22, 1985), aged 54 And RIP Bo Goldman (September 10, 1932 - July 25, 2023), aged 90 You both will be remembered as legends.
Just to clarify,not exactly "the" theme of the movie but "a" theme from the movie(titled "Medication Valse"),and one of several themes used as "source music" by virtue of the nurses playing it on a record player to the residents of the ward.The actual theme of the movie would be the haunting melody(played on musical saw)at the beginning and end of the film.
And neither one had the class or presence of mind to actually MENTION the name of Ken Kesey, upon whose novel the screenplay was based. Shameful oversight that the winning Best Picture producers Michael Douglas and Saul Zaentz also failed to correct.
This was a pretty good year for film. All the nominations were really well deserved, yet there was no way that it wasn't going to go to "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest". It (Jaws) may have been that one film that just missed out. As I first said, it was a really good year for film.
Bo Goldman won against Scent of A women (1975) with Vittorio Gassman, then in 1992 he was nominated for an Academy Award for writing the screenplay for the remake of Scent of A Women! Talk about a turn around!!🤣🤣🤣
