Music heard in the movie...


The film opens with Will Penny singing "Git Along, Little Dogies".

At Christmas, mother and son sing "O Tannenbaum" then part of the English version, "Oh Christmas Tree". Later, she tries to teach Will "Deck the Halls".

The "crazies" play "The Rakes of Mallow" on harmonica and Jew's harp (aka jaw harp, mouth harp, Ozark harp, trump, or juice harp).

Good calls. The "live" music was just as important as David Raksin's instrumental score.
