[sutouha27]

you wouldn't happen to know what is the name of the song that plays during the Memoriam of all the actors that passed away?

[stonan]

@sutouha27 The Love of the Princess From The Thief of Bagdad

Total class. It didn't rush through, but allowed viewers to read, see, remember, and salute those whom we lost. Current Oscar producers should pay attention and take heed.

@synoh7283 The song playing from 6:04 to 7:01 is not The Love of the Princess from The Thief of Baghdad. I cannot find out where this music is from. Can you help me out with this? Its also played at the very end (in between is the music from The Thief of Baghdad)
