Hi there, I’m Ron’s great great niece, and to be able to see his songs still circulating somewhere just fills me with so much pride. Thank you for listening to his music and allowing others (including myself) to revisit it from time to time.
I saw this movie with my folks in 1965 at the Michael Todd theatre in Chicago. That was a big event to see a first run film downtown Chicago. It’s probably the first movie I had seen with a theater designed to handle six track stereo sound. The theme to this movie blew me away! It’s one of those tunes I love getting stuck in my head. Ron was truly a master and composition that sadly we don’t hear anymore. Thank you for sharing.😊
I can only guess that those who pressed dislike missed the like button! Ron Goodwin was an excellent composer, arranger & conductor who wrote some of the most well known & best remembered, even today, film music. Thanks again Fred for uploading a great soundtrack!
This movie from 1965 would deserve an Oscar even today and Ron Goodwin for his great music and absolutely convincing! He is already credited with bringing joy to many generations with his great and original humor, great music and aerial stunts that are beyond debate!
In 1965 “Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines - Or How I Flew From London To Paris In 25 Hours And 11 Minutes” (probably the longest movie title ever) was released in cinemas around the globe, setting free a storm of laughter and appreciation. Not only did it include an international all-star cast, representing their individual clichés (the slightly snobbish British aristocracy, the cowboy from America, the overdramatic count from Italia with his countless children and many more) but also became a playground for rivalries between nations, which seem older than time itself (the antagonism between France and Germany or Britain and America). All that, surely impossible to do nowadays, was put on camera greatly by director Ken Annakin, including outstanding stunts with those magnificent (stunt) men in their (actual working) flying machines (or what was left of them). This is one of those movies where about everything is just perfect. Speaking of which, Ron Goodwin’s musical score just nails it! The theme he wrote for the movie (to be heard with lyrics at the end of this video) would turn out to be his most famous composition, also being used as an opening number for his concerts. He gave the characters unmistakable motifs, which seem to incite their clichés (Italy = tarantella, France = cancan, Germany = march, etc.) but those cues were done with much care and effort, including Goodwin orchestrating the entire score by himself. To be honest, it was hard to make this 15 minute-edit, as so much (and even more) material was there to make use of. Cue after cue, this score couldn’t be packed any more with musical greatness. Enjoy!
Actually, the longest movie title is the 1991 film Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D(yes, it's real). Great soundtrack!
Thank goodness 20th Century Fox gave this one the Todd-AO 70mm roadshow treatment which allowed Goodwin's charming score to resound in glorious 6-track stereo! This was a great time at the movies!
Saw this movie as part of a Saturday double feature in the fall of 1968 - with the original release of Bullitt. you remember funny things and in this case, in TMM, Miles character was named Patricia, In Bullitt, Vaughn's character was named Chalmers. Together they made the name of a girl I had a crush on in school - I thought for sure it was a "sign" - unfortunately she didn't agree.
"Follow Me" (was it originally called something like "Girls of 1910" (more or less Patricia's them) is so beautiful and far too short. A great fun score,. Why was Ron Goodwin never given an Oscar?.
I saw this movie when it was released in, I think, 1965...about the same time "The Great Race" (soundtrack of Henry Mancini) came out. Both seen at the famous Circle Theater on the "Circle" in my hometown of Indianapolis. I was 15 that year in '65. Had to see it cause, my famous cousin, Red Skelton was in it...at the end of the picture. Many of Ron Goodwin's scores became famous in the 60's and '70's. I believe he scored the early 1960's films of Agatha Christe's Miss Marple films.

A fine man he was too, he’s one of my favourite composers.
Wel he composed my favorite bit in the movie Monte Carlo or bust with the germans theme.
One my all time favorite scores -total brilliance!!!

How to fly: Step one - Sit down.
This is a fun one. Just what I needed as I am up to my eyeballs in work. Thanks Fred!

When I listen to this song, I feel like I can fly just by flapping my arms.
A total unsung genius...Village of the Damned, Day of the Triffids, Where Eagles Dare..many others.
I saw this movie in a theater in Southern California in 1965. Great soundtrack!!!
Genius compositions

Another home run Fred!!
13:01-13:20 Los Supergenios de la Mesa Cuadrada (1970)
"Follow Me" (was it originally called something like "Girls of 1910" (more or less Patricia's them) is so beautiful and far too short. A great fun score,. Why was Ron Goodwin never given an Oscar?.
Penso sia uno di quei film che hanno aperto il filone delle corse pazze, dalle nazioni a tutto il mondo.😁👍🏼
Le musiche di Ron Goodwin divertenti!
THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Wasn't Benny Hill and Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) in this along with Terry-Thomas? I remember seeing it & the theme song stuck in my head.
Yes, Ben Hill plays the Fire Chief, Gert Frobe plays the German Colonel, and Terry-Thomas plays Sir Percy Ware-Armitage.
Great movie! Thank you!
