Henry Mancini - Tana's Theme

[blingy16]

a variation on the 1891 song "after the ball", the biggest seller tin pan alley ever had, about an old man filled with regret. just another bit of brilliance from mancini and welles.

@blingy16 That's a really good observation, I never would have noticed it.

great movie with an absolutely unforgettable ending!

Indeed this a beautiful piece of music and for such a gritty movie. It seems to be such a contrast, and yet it works perfectly well, perhaps because there was so many contrasting and contradicting elements in the movie.

Brilliant theme and a true cinematic masterpiece!

Great song for a very gritty movie in the day. Didn't know you could say "Main liner" in a movie back then.

Such a beautifully melanchonic piece - one of Mancini's best!

Reminds me somewhat of The Third Man Theme.

This song also played in the John Travolta movie "Get Shorty" (1995)

@ECG3485 funny that a great song in a great movie would be stolen and used in a terrible movie... ce la vie

Thanks for posting this. It's an amazingly catchy tune. Perfectly fitting the sleezy, pulp feel of Welles' film. :)

My favorite track from the movie. Great little tune.
