Search - Stanley Myers :: Deer Hunter: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

A Huge Disappointment for a wonderful movie score

"All I can say is what a ripoff. I think this soundtrack runs less than 15 minutes--what a lost opportunity. Not only are the scores way too short--but the most two vital songs/socres--"I Love you Baby--not only at the tavern but also as part of the wedding festivals--and even more importantly, the score whose name I don't know--after the deer hunt and the most poignant moment in the films--the score in the tavern where a classical piece is played and all the boys go into the deepest moments of intimacy in the entire film--none of this is part of the sound track.



I love the film, looked forward to the soundtrack--and felt I (and others) were totally ripped off."

Favorite song not on the soundtrack

"The scene when they're in the bar, just before they leave for vietnam, there's an emotional piano instrumental. Its not on the soundtrack, so if you're looking for it, its by Frederic Chopin, called Nocturne Number 6, Opus 15-3, in g minor."

"I recently attended a screening of "The Deer Hunter" in New York City and I kept saying "That sounds like a song I once heard Shirly Bassey sing" and sure enough -thanks Betty from the USA for settling that mystery."
