The Comancheros Theme

[SicklySweet1992]

Love John Wayne As An Actor But HATE Him As A Person, He Thought A Womans Place Was In The Kitchen. Even Said It In An Interview

[ONLY1TOTTENHAM]

Marion Morrisson...aka John Wayne. The greatest.

[ronetteloverz]

Thumbs up if you're fed up with YouTube ads....

[Trashcansam123]

Wasn't John Wayne a draft dodger?

[johnw9171]

@Trashcansam123 No, he wasn't. He was 34 at the time of Pearl Harbor and he was a family man. Therefore, he was inelligible for the draft. He was later reclassified as draft eligible, but his studio fought it and he was considered essential for the nation's survival. He never fought the draft, legally or illegally despite what many say.

[MrSexyassian]

whoever said they hate the theam song sucks

[Beethoven141]

John Wayne is unbeatable! So is Elmer Bernstein.

[spacepatrolman]

@Beethoven141 bernstein is ripping off aaron copland for this like he did with the magnificent 7 and to kill a mockingbird

[Prashmee]

@Beethoven141 I agree with you...

[rudy7915]

Grande John Wayne sei il mio mito del west ciao amico!

[awn8281]

quite possibly one of the greatest movie themes of all time.

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

John Wayne can't act 

[Hickok45jr]

@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani You my friend have not seen John Wayne. You must remember that it's not just great acting that makes a great actor, it's the soul and spirit of that acting that makes it good acting. And John Wayne was a big, big man. And a great man.

[remymartain]

@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani Yeah, we know but his JOHN WAYNE and he plays JOHN WAYNE great!!

[mmomsboy]

Starts off like British National Anthem Then WOW! --Wish it was..with the Duke and all..

[philboy1130]

I'm a liberal and I have always loved John wayne movies - now more than ever.

[MrJimmybgood]

THANK YOU GREAT MUSIC.

[lebow1]

There's no one like Elmer Bernstein !

[tcalger87]

Mt brother reminded me (I don;t remember!) that this was the first movie I saw in a theatre, It was in Montreal,. Of course, I was only 18 mths. so I don;t remember it.

[inevitable9090]

Reminds me of my Dad who took me to all John Waynes films

[TotalPackageLexLuger]

I just looked it up, Curtiz died within a year of composing this score.

[johnhamilton08]

@TotalPackageLexLuger Curtiz didn't compse the score, he directed the film, Bernstein composed the film

[charrowool]

@TotalPackageLexLuger In fact Wayne directed most of the film but refused credit for it, as Curtiz was dying while the film was being made and was sometimes unfit to work. Wayne refused to get another director, so helped out but put all the directors credits to Curtiz. Thats what John Wayne was like and thats why so many people liked him and even today although he has been dead since 1979, he is always in the top ten greatest actors each year.

[TotalPackageLexLuger]

More proof society has regressed. Back in '61 this was just another good wayne movie, nowaydays it would win 12 oscars.

Anything with both Lee marvin and john wayne has to be gold, this movie proved my theory right again.

[Demilspencer]

My god..I was 11 years old when I saw the movie! I loved it! Now..almost 61 .. it still brings goosebumps!! MSgt (Ret'd) CJ Spencer USAF!!!

[goaindia71]

i love the fact that John Wayne loved the character he played so much in the movie The Searchers, , he named one of his sons Ethan!!!

[mikedressner]

I am a republican and partly believe with daveg but is this video's comment section anywhere to state something like that

[Halo101st]

@mikedressner Yes, and if only because the anti-American, destroy America, left-wing liberal of today would have been viewed with the pure contempt they are worthy of by those who lived back during the time that John Wayne's westerns represent.

Although John Wayne's characters are, for the most part, fictional, the "can do" pioneer spirit of those characters was not. Imagine the limp-wristed liberal of today trying to settle this country in the 1800's.. What a horrible image that is...

[trwent]

I miss Ina Balin so much. She was so beautiful and spicy!!

[Tiffanysattic97]

Love the movie and the score! John Wayne and Stuart Whitman did a great job in this movie! Thnx 4 posting!

[Estella649]

The music and movie are worth seeing. I've seen this movie over twelve times now, and I never get tired of it! :-)

[Denise9482]

I absolutely loved the score to this movie and loved the movie!!! Seen it a bunch of times and probably watch it a bunch more!!! Love John Wayne and Lee Marvin did great as Crow. Great western!! One of the Duke's best!!! Denise9482

[STANLEYCOURT]

Illusions and delusions compadre.

[subcdriller1]

AMEN "utubedaveg"!!!!

[TheAnimalMiss]

LOVE the music. I can play this with my orchestra and I play the melody on the clarinet

[uofjim]

Another True Grit? Puh-leeeze. No one will top John Wayne in that. Too bad Hollywood can't come up with some ideas.

[steelyross]

BTW

The Coen Brothers are remaking

"TRUE GRIT"

[steelyross]

BTW The Coen Brothers are remaking

"True Grit".

I believe with Jeff Bridges as the lead.

[lowfuellevel]

John Wayne will always be number one!

[reeelife]

@lowfuellevel Nope Clint Eastwood. =)

[Ididnthaveaname]

When I hear this song I close my eyes and see the desert in front of me. The Indians are riding through a canyon, through the vast desert and then they come into a forest. There, they will ride over the river and get back into the desert. They meet the white men, and abide in his arms and dancing around the campfire until night.

[Apteryxrules]

It's what happened after the campfires went low ....

[lionssong2525]

Thanks for posting, great soundtrack and movie.

The Duke is forever!

[katzenjammer1979]

can someone please explain to me why from 1:27 on this has the EXACT SAME MELODY as the score from "magnificent seven". was bernstein lazy or what? :-)

[katzenjammer1979]

crap i just checked it and its NOT the same melody. damn and i thought i noticed something interesting.. :-(

[StarskySTARS]

Its very similliar thought and its nothing rare, all score somposers do this.

[dacacis1]

THANK YOU DUKE THAT YOU EXISTED!!!

[gerladiant]

ad4life165 thank you for the info , no I did not know that John Williams did music for a John Wayne movie awsome! thank you very much , do you like the comanchero music and film music in general?

[gerladiant]

ad4life

[lowfuellevel]

great song!!!!

[13er1967]

Einer der besten Western die es gibt ! Vielen Dank für diesen Beitrag !!!

[SteelioC]

The BEST movie theme!!!

[clapnot1]

There's no one like 'The Duke'

[dacacis1]

@clapnot1

THANK YOU!  BODY!!!!

THAT'S TRUE!

[gerladiant]

I agree with Ironchief , this is awsome , my music gods are still going John Williams ( to many to mention)Alan Silvestri, (preditor best ever) Danny Elfman (beetlejuice, brilliant)

Hanz Zimmer (Pirates of the Carib and Gladiator awsome) John Barry (everything), just so many great composers,

[ad4life165]

@gerladiant did you know that John Williams did a John Wayne score for a movie called The Cowboys?

[tripsadelica]

One of Bernstein's "signature" title themes. Hollywood will never make movies like this gain...they don't know how. And today's music soundtracks? Arrggghhh!!! Only Horner and Williams know how to do movie music thse days...Bernstein and Goldsmith are gone...Vale to them...Vale to Hollywood of old.

[avatarnarutochuck]

Don't forget Morricone.

[Kamakaze07070]

I juz like the movie!

[ironchef40]

Gday,

The Comanchero is an outlaw motorcycle gang in Australia. I was a "hang around".

Jock Ross split from the Bandidoes after watching this movie. Its a racist etc etc movie as you all say. It led to the Milperra masacre and war with everybody because of this dumb movie.

The Comanchero has changed a lot since I left to get married and have kids.

Now their boss is a Lebanese. Drugs and the like.

Never in my day. Im glad I ride my motorcycle in peace.

Im always a Comanchero

[PeterFirthFan]

A racist movie.

[encke7]

very good movie !"!!

[Xeresa18]

The Commancheros were a lethal combination of white outlaws, commanches, and mexican eager for a profit.

The commanches would sell prisoners taken in raids-- men to slave in Mexican mines, women to work in Mexican brothels- to the Commancheros for guns/whiskey.

The Commancheros would sell the prisoners to the Mexicans for gold, and silver..

The Commancheros were hunted down by the American and Mexican governments.

[13er1967]

Die Comancheros ! Einfach ein toller Film ! Die Titelmusik ist auch super !!! Einfach nur schön. Danke für diesen Beitrag

[Kamakaze07070]

I LOOOOVE THIS THEME! I've listened to it like 50 times in the last 2 days!

[Eagle027]

Monsewer you are a looloo!

[arlanw3]

[JokerRecordings]

[giulene]

@JokerRecordings are you a dirty fascist?

[walleyrt69]

Boy--your the smartest guy Ive read on youtube.

[Thindza]

@utubedaveg

rathr more muslims to stop jewish manipulation with america

cheers

[giulene]

@utubedaveg are you a dirty fascist?

[fito65]

The Comancheros were Mexicans of Northern Mexico.

Is this correct ?

[schwabpm]

I moved from Michigan to the American west (first Washington State and now California) 31 years ago. No other piece of music evokes thoughts of the magnificent vistas, endless skies, and wide open spaces to be found out here like this one does! Majestic and powerful music for a majestic and beautiful part of the world!

[hauptmannbrittles]

Remember Lee Marvin as Tully Crow. Great Scene, he and The Duke drunken and singing into the saloon, short time before Tully had his last shootout. dont mess you with JW. :-)

[HaiBrei]

1:10 is just awesome

[nonsubverto]

oh jeah !!

[larrydh2]

There was a really neat song that came out about this time with lyrics and it was called the Comancheros as well. I don't think it was related to the movie per se, but had to have been motivated by the movie. Don't know who sang it but I recall I liked it as a kid. Anyone know who sang it?

[114Pilot]

I think the song you mention was done by Claude King. I also think you are correct in that it wasn't directly related to the movie. Just my memory from almost fifty years ago. I remember it on the radio in the Fall of '61/Winter of '62. A Great Song.

[larrydh2]

I do belief you are right. Thanks for the info.

[Gartenschlauch12]

Toller Film und Song.

Mal wieder schön zu hören.

[mal334455]

superb....great memories of going to see this with my dad....
