Theme Music


What is the theme music that plays over and over throughout the movie?

It sounds like it might be a classic Scottish folk melody.

Is it a Scottish folk song?

If so, what are the lyrics?

Thank you.

The composer is Max Steiner, one of the most eminent creators of film music over a very long career. He's probably best known for his scoring of "Gone with the Wind". He was a versatile master of infusing themes of seeming authenticity -- ethnic and other -- into his work.

I can not thank you ENOUGH! This music has haunted me for years, and of course the fact that the movie is so old has done nothing to help in terms of searches online.. thank you, thank you.!!!!
