One of my favorite scores ever. Beautiful Americana theme for a great film and a great book; it evokes so many emotions in me that it gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.

  • a movie that you saw once late at night that showed you what a father could be like

  • I'm 51 years old, I remember seeing this film with my parents at a drive in, and I vividly remember that I was so enthralled that I stayed up for the entire film. And yes, the score is so fantastic...so haunting. You simply have to only close your eyes and be instantly transported back to the days of your youth, remembering warm summer nights and games of Tag or Hide and Go Seek.

  • I was a child when I saw this film, and not only did I feel like I was transported to another time and place, but the theme is the most haunting and emotionally evocative music I have ever heard. Even now, 45 years later it brings the same wistful feelings, and I want to cry. This and the Magnificent Seven demonstrate how gifted Elmer Bernstein was -

  • @bajaman123X Amen, you took the words out of my mouth.

  • I watched this in class and I was amazed by this beautiful song :3

  • Thanks bobbengan. I agree wholeheartedly. Elmer Bernstein was one of the 2 best film composers of his time, the other being John Barry. I still remember the opening credits and the end sequence of this film. Magic with music.

  • @Faroasodahunter9 It's played on TCM a lot. Netflix and pretty much any good video store will have it. You need to see it. An American classic.

  • havent seen the movie, cant find it anywhere.. but the book is great :)

  • @linksgirlfriend50 That is really moving to me. You are not alone.

  • This score sums up every feeling portrayed in the story. It's innocent, but haunting and whimsical. Much like the book, you can get lost on this song.

  • Although you died years ago when I heard this song we are again in a foot race across the

    alfalfa fields of our childhood home, the small ripple of thought echoes beyond time and space.

    I know you are there out there.
