Simply marvellous! I just had a listen:)
ReplyDeleteI have heard many words used to describe this music, but the one word that really hit the nail on the head for me, is "jaunty".
The jauntiness of this tune perfectly captures Harry Lime's insouciance and devil-may-care demeanour. By the way, this music is also used extensively in the radio series, "The Lives Of Harry Lime".
Oh my! The famous ferris wheel scene is on youtube too! Don't you just love the way Harry Lime calls everyone "Old Man"?
ReplyDeleteYes, jaunty, Old Man! ;)
ReplyDeleteOr should I say, "Old Girl"? ;);)
