    Probably my favourite TV theme tune or in this instance theme song is from The Lives and Loves of a She-Devil, sung by Christine Collister. A very very beautiful song.

    Hear a couple of bars of any of those (or in some cases a couple of notes) and you instantly know which film it is. And each of those films would have been significantly less without those scores.

    All the work of the same man - John Williams
    Schindler's List aswell.

    Not at all, they are distinctive, and generally set the right tone - I don't like all (many) of them as songs, but as theme tunes the tick all the boxes .

    John Williams says himself that he was greatly influenced by composers of the 30's and 40'


    "I’ve been particularly fascinated with the émigrés from Europe in the 1930s — people like Max Steiner and Erich Korngold, but also Vernon Duke and Kurt Weill, who came with [directors] Billy Wilder and Ernst Lubitsch to Hollywood. They brought this tremendous European culture. In a certain sense, my colleagues and I are the artistic grandchildren of these men. We have been the beneficiaries of a rich tradition that grew up here in the early days of sound, in the 1930s and 40s.”

    Here is Korngold's Sea Hawk. There are certainly stylistic similarities here.

    However it is probably even more marked in the theme from King's Row a film from a galaxy far far away, sorry 1942!

    A longer version of the King's Row music for anyone interested

    There is of course far more to John Williams music than just a few similar extracts, but it is interesting to know where his influences come from.


    Just for good measure here is some of Korngold's music from The Adventures of Robin Hood

    I think this was before Alan Hale got stranded on Gilligan's Island.
