Rare Nino Rota - Fortunella (1958)

[caliluc1]

OHHH ...CHE MUSICA MERAVIGLIOSA CHI PUO' ANCORA SCRIVERE DELLE MUSICHE COSI? HO CONOSCIUTO NINO ROTA, UN UOMO SEMPLICE E TIMIDO ERA DIRETTORE DEL CONSERVATORIO DI BARI UN GENIO DELLA MUSICA INDIMENTICABILE !!

[RichardKleiner]

BLATANT! Nino Rota shows James Horner how it is done.

So a guy can't use its own theme for another movie... THE ACADEMY AWARDS ARE STUPID

This one is comedic and the godfather one is dramatic

Questa musica e stata a un passo dal prendere l'oscar per il Padrino, poi si accorsero all'ultimo momento dell'autoplagio e ritirarono la candidatura.

Just when I thought i knew everything about The Godfather.....fascinating trivia- thanks for sharing.

[ikmarchini]

Rota was a great recycling magician- ala Rossini. There is a cassette tape of Coppola working with Rota on Godfather I in Rome circa 1971. Coppola:"Do you have music for 'going to Los Angeles"?  Rota: "Oh yes, it's all ready" and proceeds to play on the piano music from Toby Dammit from 15 years earlier. Perhaps Coppola caught him as different LA music (not Rota) is used in the film.

[dwayne2005]

@ikmarchini That piece is 'the Pickup'. It is not identical to Toby Dammit, one can easily see the similarities but they were distinct. The reason why it was removed from the film and replaced by Manhattan Seranade was because of an argument between Coppola and the producers, who absolutely didn't want any of Rota's score in the film at all, they wanted Mancini. Coppola was in a stand off with the producers, and eventually agreed to leave it to a test screening to gauge audience response.

[sergejisd]

@ikmarchini What cassette tape? Could you tell me more about it? Where can I find it?

[starmin76]

Despite the faster pace and change of tone, I still can't imagine this theme being used in a comedy, I have seen the Godfather films so many times that the theme is just too closely tied to tragedy.

[ssballs]

Viva Rota!

[greendaysimpleplan18]

I could almost hear Bugs Bunny...

[PianoTuningLover]

It sounds powerful, although I don't think it's a work of the same level (and kind). The best thing we can do is to admire the fact, that the love theme from The Godfather originates not in a worst movie score.

[oglanci11]

thank u dwayne 2005 . il padrino

[deeders05]

lol damn! same exact thing happened with me. I almost spit out my drink. Sounds like the ending of a roger rabbet cartoon.

[iLoveWoman2009]

0:57?? The Godfather song

[paolorossifan2006]

@iLoveWoman2009 this version sounds like a cheerful and happy party song though. it's a funny version of it but i prefer the godfather. the slower pace and gloominess make the song standout far more

[SteeleCurtain411]

@iLoveWoman2009

facepalm

[tigerstarr]

Oh my days! The blackadder theme is a direct rip of 1:54!!

[arlett001]

Esta pelicula es de 1958... quien diria que 14 años depues se volveria la cancion caracteristica de una de las peliculas mas famosas del mundo.

for me both versions are beautiful...
