The Long Ships Movie Theme (1963)

This is the fantastic opening theme music to the 1963 British/Yugoslavian Viking film, The Long Ships.



I do not own this music or anything else that has to do with the film or the novel by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson. I am just a fan who is sharing the wonderful music of this movie with other fans.

I liked it so much I rushed home from the movie and whistled it into my tape recorder!

I put the soundtracks for "The Long ships, The Vikings, & The 13th Warrior" on the same CDR. Too bad the music for "The Norseman" sucked, or it would have been added.

I love this movie and the theme is superb thanks for putting this on youtube and greatly appreciated and i remember seeing this movie when i was eight years old and being terrifed of the mare of steel.

Plastic crew figures though during the malestrom shows just how cheap these types of films are.

This thrilling -- and totally idiomatic -- score was composed by Dusan Radic (1929 - 2010), born in the former Yugoslavia. He was active as a film composer mainly in the 1960s, when he scored several Serbian-language films, and later international productions The Long Ships and Genghis Khan.

The film was directed by legendary Oscar-winning British cinematographer and filmmaker Jack Cardiff, OBE, BSC (1914 – 2009), considered the greatest color cameraman who ever lived.

From the very first time I saw this movie...I was thrilled just to listen to the theme. The story was absolutely "original" and left me w/an impression since it first came out! I have wonderful memories of this because I took my two cousins to see this movie (unfortunately they are in Heaven). I downloaded this theme on my facebook and email addresses. Later into my MP3 player. I LOVE this THEME! which has been in my heart all these years. Thanks alot for putting on youtube.
