The barbed quick tongue does not change the fact that this pretender along with his mate Hawke were the 2 biggest shams in Australian Political history living off the backs of the workers for years whilst having little or nothing in common with working Australians. keating woudn,t know an honest ...

The epitome of the small men with more ticker than phar Lap. In the mould of Mossop but better and more cutting. Stan Zemanuk was a pussy compared to this doyen of the slapim down and jump on im set. Ron had the views shared by Australians 40-50 years ago on immigration but ran foul of the polit...

The fact that they have not seen fit to remake this gem and many more similar 60s shows speaks volumes for the timeless quality these productions produced and the equally timeless themes that were brilliantly composed and arranged to accompany them. Nothing more needs to be said.

Hank Mancini had that special skill and talent to turn an ordinary piece into a timeless masterpiece with his special arrangement much in the same way Sinatra shaped his songs with a little help from Nelson Riddle Billy May and many more. That was the magic that special ability they had and it sh...

The movies was significant apart from the brilliant them in that it was the launching platform for some of the greatest careers in hollywood namely McQueen,Bronson,Coburn and Vaughn not to forget Yul Brynner who was already a name but got a distinct leg up with this one.The other significant aspe...

Hank Mantovani, Elmer Bernstein, Nelson Riddle and later LaloSchiffrin all captured the mood of that wonderful period 60s through early 70s. One had to live through that time to fully appreciate its magnificence.There is a dearth of such arrangers and composers these days the fact they all appear...

why did the car explode mid air well its done all the time by the stunt people nothing remarkable in that by the way the themes not bad either as good as the offerings in the 60s by Bernstein Riddle and co route 66 and all those themes for the ages.

Take a good hard look at Mike Connors and tell me honestly are there really any leading men out there today Brad Pitt included who could compare with his looks. He makes some of the toads that pas for good looking today positively ordinary. By the way great theme.

This theme should haved joined those other masterpieces of the 60s like route 66 etc. Altogether to cool for the 70s.Good arrangement especially the brass.

A living icon who spans the old Hollywood and the new. Only a handfull still alive who can boast that. Three that come to mind Ernest Borgnine and Eli Wallach both in their mid 90s and of course Kirk. Not a bad trio all greatly talented in different ways but survivors of that golden time in Holly...

What does one say when confronted with sheer genius. As American as Dave Brubeck or Elmer Bernstein as peerless as Ella or as classy as Sinatra take your pick however you frame it there masters of their profession.

The freshness and clarity of the interpretation linger in the mind. Crawford has that same inate ability to create a mood that Sinatra had. They make love to the lyric and bring that special feel or quality to a piece. They could turn an ordinary composition and make it a winner, a special gift f...

Yes Joe you got it right in spades. An angel needs nothing else to convince us of the purity of the lyric and the emotion of the interpretation in its delivery. If Crawford is such an angel then Sample is her vervent choir boy.

A sheer one off genius no frills just pure magic. Sinatra had it Bennett still has it all the really great ones had it. If you could capture the essence of this magic you,d be a magician and then some.

The combination of Sample and Crawford is as inspired as it is excellence personified. Magic is the end result of genius such as this. Shows how music should be performed and give true respect to the lyric. Heaven sent.

This combination of Joe sample and Randy Crawford is like a fine wine mellowing in the bottle or like a great De Niro or Pacino performance. Its called magic born of genius and brilliance. What more can one say.

Words such as genius, out there, bad as bad, iconic, talent would not do this singer and this arrangement justice just close your eyes and listen to music that is music in the truest sense and ticks all the boxes like enjoyable inspired emotion charged and then some. One for the ages.

Brilliant singing briliant arrangement what more could one wish for. A cleverly crafted song that does justice to a Randy Crawford gem but then which ones from this songbird par excellance were not.

Theres a word that typifies the music from the 60s its called class this band had in spades. It will never be duplicated along with the other great composers of that era Bernstein, Newman, Barry, to name a few. Thank God I was alive and young then to appreciate it.

The series they could not rehash come to think of it they couldn,t remake anything from that era successfuly one had to be there and live the 60s to know what I mean a unique period in our history, class all the way and this masterpiece is a prime example along with the magnificent seven theme. I...

The composition that set the tone for that great period the 60s along with the magnificent seven theme. If we appear to have a twinkle in our eyes when we hear such REAL music forgive us we actually lived through this great time in our history a time one had to be there to appreciate it. God than...

The best thing to come out of this town since Mcqueens bullit. A totally unique city it is appropiate that it has hosted some of the most unique material. Most of the areas where this series was filmed particularly around the fishermans wharf area has not changed much was there last year to retra...

The role that Marvin was born to play and play it he did in spades,. I doubt there has been a more believable portrayal in filmdom and thats a big call but one i,ll happily stick with. Such was Marvin talent a brand of which we have not seen since and its doubtful ever will. A one off icon that ...

John Barry and Jery goldsmith between them probably epitomise this period in hollywood both masters at their craft and it shows in this short Barry piece would have love to have heard the whole extended piece instead of just a snippit but as long as its Barry it will suffice who said more was nec...

One of the truly great western themes that epitomsed the 60s and set the backdrop for epics such as How the West was won, Magnificent seven and of course the Big Country, all composed by masters at their craft and which collectively will never be matched.Music for the ages is probably too cliched...

Barry wasn,t just in another dimension with this music he was in another galaxy. Never been bettered and never likely to be. The man did not realise how far ahead of his time he was but we sure did.

Sorry take your point Jerry Goldsmith actually ranks with the first three I mentioned. My humble apologies to a master composer one of the true greats.The enduring point on many of these iconic themes and the true mark of brilliant work is that they stand on their own apart from the movie as land...

Alfred Newman stands alonside Elmer Bernsteinas the two greatest composers from the 60s and thats a huge wrap given the other brilliant composers around then Bronislau Kaper, Alex North, Dimitri Toimkin among the better ones. They should build a second Mt Rushmore for those guys at least they gav...

Allan Ladd could have worn pumps he could have done miracles who cares he was one of the all time great western actors and will stand the test of time as all real icons of the screen manage to do.This music captures his spirit as well as the times. A masterpiece and ranks up with How the West was...
