Without a doubt, one of the worst music scores I've ever experienced in the movies...absolutely juvenile and horrific. I heard better music on the Saturday morning serials when I was a kid.
That just goes to show you. You go someplace and there you are.
I wouldn't agree. It's got some great themes in it. Much of it is very similar to Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines. Same composer, Ron Goodwin. Alos wrote The Battle of Britain along with Sir William Walton. There is one bit of music which seems quite out of place in context toward the end, but my guess is that that was a choice in editing and they ran out of time and money. Actually I love a lot of this score. The opening music for the V1 is terrifically scored.
My accountant says, "1 + 1, 40% of the time, equals divorce".
Ron Goodwin was one of the great film composers of his time. The score for "Operation Crossbow" was excellent, as were all of his scores. It would take a certified musical dunce not to appreciate his work.
