I agree this score is incredible but John Williams was nominated for The Towering Inferno and lost that year, the 1975 Best Original Score went to Nino Rota, & Carmine Coppola for THE GODFATHER PART II. The Towering inferno won the best original song but the oscar went to Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn, not Williams who composed the score. Still, perhaps the always underrated Goldsmith deserved an oscar for this among countless other scores.
Based on a true incident.. this is from a time when movies were a work of art.. with great music, excellent plot and characters.. They took their time back then to entertain us at the same time to marvel at all the work that was taken to achieve such a movie. NOw what do we have... every other movie is a comic adaption, CGI Galore, mindless crap...Once in a Blue Moon a good movie will make its way....
Thundering score fits the film. Connery was good as usual. Brian Keith was terrific as Teddy Roosevelt. You could portray a heroic president as heroic in those days.
@John Barone Brian Keith was a fantastic actor. Catch him sometime in The Deadly Companions, Sam Peckinpah's first feature. Or anything else he ever did!
THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT SOUND TRACK! SO IS THE SOUND TRACK TO THE MOVIE "QUIGGLY DOWN UNDER"!!! SOME IDIOT MADE THE DECISION TO NOT RELEASE THIS SOUND TRACK IN THE UNITED STATES AND ONLY RELEASED IT IN AUSTRALIA! THANKFULLY, YOU CAN HEAR IT ON TH-cam!!!! I LOVE BOTH!!!
I can understand where many people consider John Williams to be the best movie scorer ever. I love his music. But, for me, Jerry Goldsmith will always be my fave.
I say Goldsmith is the greatest out of them all. And I love John Williams. Goldsmith just had the most diversity out of everyone. He could compose any musical style, western, eastern, middle eastern, southern etc and make it sound phenomenal. A true genius.

Spannende Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Suite mit farbenprächtigen Töne aller Instrumente. Der geniale Komponist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im inspirierenden Tempo mit gut artikulierter Dynamik. Echt Gänsehaut!
One of my favorite Sean Connery films ... and one of my all-time favorite scores by Jerry Goldsmith ... fitting the movie PERFECTLY in every way ... helping to make it a CLASSIC FILM EXPERIENCE!!! Thanks for sharing this soundtrack suite here!!!
+Chopper Morton: Absolute I agree with Your assessment! How great life can be: Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan & Donald Trump. May GOD continue to Bless the USA!!!
If you were to ask me who is my film composer of all-time I could not choose between Jerry Goldsmith & John Williams. This great score perfectly captures a great film as well as the best Williams'.
It’s so great you put this in your collection. I love the movie and the music. I watch it often. Brian Keith WAS Theodore Roosevelt. I like speechy very much.
Robin Jackson, I even liked the knifey and the forky! Can't beat John Milius or Jerry Goldsmith. My husband and I always say, "It is good to know where you are going."
Another Excellent Score by the late great Jerry Goldsmith who never let his audiences down no matter how good (this one) the film was or how bad the film was like the (The Swarm). A true Genius who I really miss. Thanks Fred. OUT.
+wingitprod I figured out on my own that all the truly great composers of the twentieth-century worked for Hollywood. Of course, the academic leather-elbow-patch set disdained them for hideous, atonal garbage.
You can see foreshadowing of the Klingon theme music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture in this score. Mr. Goldsmith scored that movie about 5 years after he wrote this magnificent music.
Ahmed Raisuni is lord of the tribes Jbala no lord of the Rif,in the north of Morocco and the little castle from Mr Pedecaris is still there,in the middle of the forest of same name, facing the strait of Gibraltar in Tangier City. R.I.P Mr Sean connery from Morocco.
No matter the film's subject matter , Goldsmith scored it with the right music. So imaginative and inventive always. Check out The List of Adrian Messenger.
Another example of the versatility of the magnificent Sean Connery. He played this role almost tongue-in-cheek and it seemed as though he had a lot of fun doing it making it all the more enjoyable to watch. Hollywood is so much less now that he has retired leaving it to lisping, swishing wannabes. The reason I no longer waste my time and money going to movies.
I cam here due to Ray Bradbury, the great author. In an introduction to his two short stories compilation called "Now and Forever" he credits hearing this music as his inspiration to a beautiful poem he wrote, that then becomes the take off point of his short story "Somewhere a Band is Playing" a science fiction story about a place where writer's live on earth where they never die, and a writer who discovers it to his great surprise. I can't believe I was able to find this on the internet so easily. Thanks!
ye. But, today we have special effects and political correctness. What do we nee a story for when we get to see a car crash that blows up like it was full of dynamite. Have you ever seen a car crash the way they do in the movies. They manage to blow up while flipping over three times. Why if it wasn't for special effects, they wouldn't have a movie at all. This film is one of the most underrated films of all time. The man who would be king is just as good.
One of mine and my children's all time favorites...the movie and the score. It came alive again on a December 1976 night at the Mid-West Band Festival in Chicago, Il when East Detroit High School played this. The score was flashing on a wall and my daughter and I were sitting where we could see the band playing it. A magnificent, marvelous memory!
Heh.... I played this in wind ensemble years ago, and while I remembered parts of it, I could not remember for the life of me what the music WAS... and it turns out to be a soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith. Cool.
Our Jr High band played an arrangement of this for UIL competition... Our band director took the entire band to see the movie in the theatre to give us motivation... I thought we sounded pretty darn good back then, but I listen to this now and wonder how we truly sounded from audience's perspective. We did score straight 1's, but I imagine our arrangement was lightened up a bit.
Seth Kimmel I heartily concur. Yes, I know Pedicaris was a man and there were no children involved, but when I watch this film (for the 20+ time) I buy into the fiction every time.
I love this movie. My favorite adventure movie after Errol Flynn's 'Kim'. What really pisses me of TW&TL is Milius gratuitous Germanophobia - I am really a big fan of Wilhemine Germany! (And tired as seen them portrayed as evil Nazis, when British, French, Russian and Americans were worse Imperialist genocidals elsewhere.) I do not care about his American chauvinism. But there were never any German troops in Morocco (even in both World Wars) - neither in Cuba in 1898. He may have used more properly French Foreign Legion infantry and Spahi cavalry as antagonists. Even Spanish troops would may have been there in that period. Imagine ... USMC against FFL!!!
The director, John Milius, tells the old fashioned heroic people stories the best. "The Man who would be King", " Conan the Barbarian", "Red Dawn", screen writer of "Apocalypse Now", "Dirty Harry".
James Stevens, Sadly, "Conan the Barbarian" was grossly underrated, probably because of Swarzenegger's inexperience or profession. The score from that movie lives forever in my mind.
This film is so much fun, albeit not historically accurate. My favorite scene is Candace Bergen seemingly losing control of her mount only to handle it perfectly while Sean watches the whole thing amused and impressed by her horsemanship skills.
Jerome: Capt. Jerome, United States Marine Corps, and you sir are my prisoner. Bashaw of Tunis: You are a very dangerous man, captain and your President Roosevelt is mad!. Jerome: (Grinning then saluting) Yes sir!
@@fredloeper8579 He was also on "Secret Agent Man" several times with Patrick McGoohan and on "The Saint". Very popular Character Feature player in lots of TV and movies. Great at Ambivalent characters who you just weren't too sure you should trust.
Thanks for showcasing this great music. This movie had the bad luck of coming out in 1975 so Mr. Goldsmith missed out on getting the Oscar that year because JAWS came out that year too !
This is why I sometimes get annoyed when people claim movies in the 70s didn't have "big old fashioned" orchestral scores until John Williams revitalized it with Star Wars. I love Williams as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's entirely fair to say that. Listen to The Blue Max from 1966, which is another throwback to the "Golden age" score. There are parts that sound a lot like what Williams did in 77 with Star Wars, pieces that channel Holst's The Planets.
John Williams movie themes were very good but they all seemed to have had a certain similarity to each other, while Jerry Goldsmith was a far superior composer and his compositions were exceptional., Themes from Papillon to First Knight and countless others are really first class.
I agree. I'm really impressed with the range he had in his career. He went through many phases and was open to experimenting with new technology at the time and blending electronic and synthetic elements with traditional orchestral music. When you listen to his scores from the 60s and compare them to his later output in the 90s, it's hard to believe the music was composed by the same person.
I agree with you TOTALLY!!!!! My claim to fame with music is when my mother was pregnant with me and she played operas so I would absorb "THE SOUND". This was the early '50s. I became a doctor following, my father's family; yet I have a perfect ear for music!!!
Sometimes movies communicate something unintended. In this movie you see Sean Connery's Arab Calvary singing as they ride. In the movie "Milagro Beanfield War" the mounted posse searching for Joe Mondrigon begins to sing as they ride- a leftover legacy from Moorish Spain.
I remember this film from the 70s. I loved the music from this film. Heck I love most of Jerry Goldsmith's music, Maurice Jarre, and John Barry. And Dougie MacLean's The Gael which became Trevor Jones/Randy Edelman's The Last of the Mohicans. All of it great music, as great as classical music
Thanks for this recording! My marching band played a version of this piece last year! We had this one part where we turned around and played the theme that happens, for example, at 10:12, and we marched halftime and it was really intense and it still gives me chills just thinking about it!!!! What a wonderful piece! :)
Loved that Sean Connery. Did you see when he played an Arab sand pirate with a Scottish accent? Or a contemporary, American police detective with a Scottish accent? Or an Irish, Chicago copper with a Scottish accent?...
All should see this movie. Islam’s rationality is portrayed as they see it Especially the ending! Helped me with understanding how they feel. Disagree with them but I now get it
IN ALL THINGS, COMPROMISE IS KEY. ISLAM CAN NOT GRASP OR FATHOM THIS CONCEPT; AND SO, MUSLIMS & CHRISTIANS WILL GO INTO ETERNITY ENDLESSLY FIGHTING ALL BECAUSE MUSLIMS CAN'T GRASP 'COMPROMISE'...
Karla Weiss Karla. Interesting reply. Sorry so long in answering. It seems to me that as Christians differentiate themselves. So do Muslims. At least the ones I know. Compromise is a wonderful thing which it seems our own politicians don’t understand anymore. While you may be correct I’m hoping not.
@@jimvernon2889 It's hard for Islam to compromise because of strict religious policy. They've never grasped the concept of taking the Koran with a grain of salt, as most Jews and Christians learned to do with their shared Bible. Sad. Maybe someday.
It was amazing how Jerry Goldsmith was so musically flexible. Room 222, THE SAND PEBBLES, THE PLANET OF THE APES, THE DETECTIVE, A PATCH BLUE ,THE BLUE MAX ETC.

True. One of his best. He makes Raisulli really cool. The real Raisulli, however, was a major creep.

What really pisses me of TW&TL is Milius gratuitous Germanophobia - I am really a big fan of Wilhemine Germany! (And tired as seen them portrayed as evil Nazis, when British, French, Russian and Americans were worse Imperialist genocidals elsewhere.)
I do not care about his American chauvinism. But there were never any German troops in Morocco (even in both World Wars) - neither in Cuba in 1898.
He may have used more properly French Foreign Legion infantry and Spahi cavalry as antagonists. Even Spanish troops would may have been there in that period.
Imagine ... USMC against FFL!!!
@@Tordogor ...totally got off on the MARDET double timing thru the streets of Tangier to get to the Pasha in the government palace!! Good stuff!!
One of the greatest ever, Thanks for sharing.
Masterfully done! So much emotion.
The director, John Milius, tells the old fashioned heroic people stories the best. "The Man who would be King", " Conan the Barbarian", "Red Dawn", screen writer of "Apocalypse Now", "Dirty Harry".
James Stevens, Sadly, "Conan the Barbarian" was grossly underrated, probably because of Swarzenegger's inexperience or profession. The score from that movie lives forever in my mind.
Milius didn’t direct The Man Who Would Be King.
James my brother Frank Gassman was De Millius legal counsel and was cast in the film as Roosevelt's adviser.

This film is so much fun, albeit not historically accurate. My favorite scene is Candace Bergen seemingly losing control of her mount only to handle it perfectly while Sean watches the whole thing amused and impressed by her horsemanship skills.

If a slimy, shrinkie lizard could ever be transformed into a human being, it would definitely become the incomparable Vladek Sheybal.
@@fredloeper8579 He was also on "Secret Agent Man" several times with Patrick McGoohan and on "The Saint". Very popular Character Feature player in lots of TV and movies. Great at Ambivalent characters who you just weren't too sure you should trust.

That's a soundtrack like they've made to be, yessir, and after him came only Ennio.. I bow my head down! From Northern Germany. Ludwig
Thanks for showcasing this great music. This movie had the bad luck of coming out in 1975 so Mr. Goldsmith missed out on getting the Oscar that year because JAWS came out that year too !
"Jaws" was Two dimensional.
@@molarmama32 Perhaps one-dimensional? A shark grabbed a scantily clad girl. Just what the audience wanted to see.
This is why I sometimes get annoyed when people claim movies in the 70s didn't have "big old fashioned" orchestral scores until John Williams revitalized it with Star Wars. I love Williams as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's entirely fair to say that. Listen to The Blue Max from 1966, which is another throwback to the "Golden age" score. There are parts that sound a lot like what Williams did in 77 with Star Wars, pieces that channel Holst's The Planets.
John Williams movie themes were very good but they all seemed to have had a certain similarity to each other, while Jerry Goldsmith was a far superior composer and his compositions were exceptional., Themes from Papillon to First Knight and countless others are really first class.
I agree. I'm really impressed with the range he had in his career. He went through many phases and was open to experimenting with new technology at the time and blending electronic and synthetic elements with traditional orchestral music. When you listen to his scores from the 60s and compare them to his later output in the 90s, it's hard to believe the music was composed by the same person.
I agree with you TOTALLY!!!!! My claim to fame with music is when my mother was pregnant with me and she played operas so I would absorb "THE SOUND". This was the early '50s.
I became a doctor following, my father's family; yet I have a perfect ear for music!!!
@@molarmama32 Williams channels everybody but his own psyche.
Nominated for the Oscar for the best score...Winner was John Williams for Jaws (its OK, too).
The music is great
Sean Connerys favorite film - RIP 007
Sometimes movies communicate something unintended. In this movie you see Sean Connery's Arab Calvary singing as they ride. In the movie "Milagro Beanfield War" the mounted posse searching for Joe Mondrigon begins to sing as they ride- a leftover legacy from Moorish Spain.

@@jamesalexander5623 Nah, he'd been a Blue Dog Democrat, but got out just in time.
About as exciting a soundtrack as it gets. Talk about "hero" music!
My marching band used this piece as the closer
Funny, my marching band is using this piece for the opener this year. Im assuming your talking about the first song on the soundtrack, yes?
YOU HAD A WONDERFUL MUSIC DIRECTOR!!!
Goldsmith borrowed heavily from this to produce Klingon battle music in Star Trek.
It was all his...so why not?
Wonderful
I remember this film from the 70s. I loved the music from this film. Heck I love most of Jerry Goldsmith's music, Maurice Jarre, and John Barry. And Dougie MacLean's The Gael which became
Trevor Jones/Randy Edelman's The Last of the Mohicans. All of it great music, as great as classical music
My playlist when you can't get enough: Jerry Goldsmith - The Wind and the Lion - Soundtrack Music Suite
Thanks for this recording! My marching band played a version of this piece last year! We had this one part where we turned around and played the theme that happens, for example, at 10:12, and we marched halftime and it was really intense and it still gives me chills just thinking about it!!!! What a wonderful piece! :)
Thank you fred thank you
Movies like this were made when Hollywood somehow still had a moral compass.
Loved that Sean Connery. Did you see when he played an Arab sand pirate with a Scottish accent?
Or a contemporary, American police detective with a Scottish accent?
Or an Irish, Chicago copper with a Scottish accent?...
I love this film since was a boy its simple wonderful pand. by the critics at the time... Oh for Gods sake!
All should see this movie. Islam’s rationality is portrayed as they see it Especially the ending! Helped me with understanding how they feel. Disagree with them but I now get it
IN ALL THINGS, COMPROMISE IS KEY. ISLAM CAN NOT GRASP OR FATHOM THIS CONCEPT; AND SO, MUSLIMS & CHRISTIANS WILL GO INTO ETERNITY ENDLESSLY FIGHTING ALL BECAUSE MUSLIMS CAN'T GRASP 'COMPROMISE'...
Karla Weiss Karla. Interesting reply. Sorry so long in answering. It seems to me that as Christians differentiate themselves. So do Muslims. At least the ones I know. Compromise is a wonderful thing which it seems our own politicians don’t understand anymore. While you may be correct I’m hoping not.
@@jimvernon2889 It's hard for Islam to compromise because of strict religious policy. They've never grasped the concept of taking the Koran with a grain of salt, as most Jews and Christians learned to do with their shared Bible. Sad. Maybe someday.
It was amazing how Jerry Goldsmith was so musically flexible. Room 222, THE SAND PEBBLES, THE PLANET OF THE APES, THE DETECTIVE, A PATCH BLUE ,THE BLUE MAX ETC.
Fantastischer Score von Jerry Goldsmith. Der Film allerdings ist ziemlich durchwachsen.
Take it away, Jerry! And rest in peace. (along with Connery)
