Fantastic channel, brilliant music, particularly enjoying lots of the Ron Goodwin stuff - this one, Battle of Britain, Where Eagles Dare, Those Magnificent Men, Monte Carlo etc - such fun music bringing back memories of these films. Keep up the great work! 😀👍
"Force 10 From Navarone", starring the great Robert Shaw and a young Harrison Ford, was a well received movie by director Guy Hamilton, who is well known for his "James Bond - Goldfinger" and "Battle Of Britain". It seems that the director was very pleased with Ron Goodwin's musical work for the last mentioned project, that the composer seemed to be the natural choice for "Force 10". Here, the British composer shows once more his scoring skills, providing a fine underscore and a very enjoyable British march (likely to be heard in the main- and fully in the end titles). I am just wondering why that marvelous composition is not often to find on various Best-Of-Goodwin albums, or better known? Enjoy!
It might suffer from the fact that the movie was not a great commercial success. I personally enjoy it greatly, and the opening and closing themes are brilliant adaptations of of the style of the traditional military march for the drama of an military action film. The rest of the music was very emotionally supportive of the action, and maintained a proper military feel without becoming too staid or rigid. Thank you for assembling this collection of thematic music.
Your work bringing these scores to today's TH-cam audience is amazing. Thank you for bringing Goodwin's fantastic score to us. I'm really diggin' your channel.
This score is one of my all-time favorites scores!!! It's full of kinds of blistering themes and it's very adventurous. Ron proved with this one that he is one of the most classically trained film composers that ever graced the music scene!!!
Mr. Goodwin is a genius!! I LOVE, from the deep of my heart, the score of " Lancelot and Guinevere "(1962)!!!!! I sing his main title when I'm happy - so beautiful, so melodious, so romantic!!... ooooh!... well... back to the present: in " Force 10 (...) " my favourite piece is " Down Bridge ". Thanks again, Fred!!!
8 yo when this came out, what an epic tune, the imagination was off the charts with this, Kelly's Hero's, B of B, Where Eagles Dare....Ron Goodwin ..pure genius.
Mallory (Actor Robert Shaw): But before we can start awarding ourselves Victoria Crosses and Congressional Medals of Honor and so on and so forth and such like... I think I'd better point out that one, we're now on the wrong side of the river. That two, we have no hope whatsoever of rejoining the partisans. That three, this neck of the woods will soon be crawling with very bad-tempered Germans. And that four, I don't think our little genius Sergeant Miller there has even got a box of matches left in his suitcase. And so I think we can take it, gentlemen, that we're going to have a very long walk home.
This is just Brilliant! ... thank you so much - one of my favourite film scores ; so fabulous to hear the original in such quality too. THANK YOU for all the continuous amazing work putting all this together, your channel is my go to place for filmscores now ...and, I find most of them 😀 Sincerely, Paul
What drew me to watch this excellent movie is the excellent cast that it has(like Richard keil,carl weathers,Robert Shaw and Harrison Ford)but i didn't know i would get a marvelous score out of it they i have always loved!!! Amazing score by Ron who's every note to this soundtrack fit the picture perfectly!!! I don't know Ron from anyother soundtrack but he proved to be a real genius of movie music with this soundtrack and his music from this movie ill always love!!!
Interesting watching in 78. Quint and Han Solo. Post STAR WARS. Great soundtrack and I loved the Lancaster bomber in the film. I believe one of the German officers was the main German adversary in Last Crusade alongside Harrison Ford.
I used to watch this film a lot when I was in the eighth grade to freshmen year of high school. Exemplary cast with a timeless soundtrack!

Another great Goodwin score. I remember seeing this movie in 1978 and Robert Shaw had just past away when it was released to theaters.
I never get tired of listening to this great piece of his. In particular the “Opening and Closing March”. A true classic British March !
Wunderschöner und erregender Marsch! Eher eine klassische Musik als Popmusik.

Great soundtrack and I loved the Lancaster bomber in the film.
I believe one of the German officers was the main German adversary in Last Crusade alongside Harrison Ford.
Beautiful and thrilling march! Rather a classical music than a popular music.
Superior film score from a gifted composer in the genre. Uplifting and exciting - even witty - in equal measure.
Great ww2 film.
Great soundtrack.
Another fantastic find Fred. Think that should be your initials... FFF 👍🏼👍🏼
That's funny, thank you! :-)
This movie was very good
Right up there with Elmer Bernstein. Fabulous march
Ron Goodwin I miss ya’brother !
The theme A is explosive an inspiring. But when I llisten to the theme B,man…I can only think of Miller and his bag of tricks. So skeptical, so human…
Goonies
🤩
Who cares about a Suite version,put the whole score on You Tube.I don't care for bits of the score to be played.
Always OnDuty Forze X Karol
I know....R Goodwin didn't do Kelly's Hero's.

This is a great movie and great song
@@marcocherchi2918 ......Absolutely Marco!!!!
