L.A. Confidential (1997) - Wheel of Fortune

Who would've thought ... Shotgun Ed.

The wheel of fortune
Goes spinning around
Will the arrow point my way
Will this be my day

Oh, wheel of fortune
Please don't pass me by
Let me know the magic of
A kiss and a sign

While the wheel is spinning, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame
While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
I'll be yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you'll ever smile on me
Please let it be now

While the wheel is spinning, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame
While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
I'll be yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you ever smile on me
Please let it be now

Truly, this 3 minutes and 20 seconds should be a feature of any film/cinema course with the lesson title: "How to do a Montage". So many narrative threads advanced in so little time.

[HarpoTheVillain]

There's just so many things RIGHT with this movie, I cannot find the words. Amazing crime thriller, stunning performances and wonderful setting. A true, gritty American classic.

[JHarder]

One of the Supreme masterpieces of the cinema. It is absurd that it did not win the Oscar. The Only problem is that it made any more adaptations of Ellroy impossible; nobody could top this.

[Cpt_Rough]

Movies like this...there will never be anything like them any time in the history

[damongales]

One of the best movies I have ever seen

[anarchistatheist]

Beautiful song from a great movie. Rest in peace all the departed cast and crew of this movie. Rest in peace Kay Starr.

[Nicklaus]

The efficiency of this scene makes me want to cry. My jaw dropped when I first saw this. Such an effective little montage, and one of the best uses of song in the history of film, perhaps.

[surfk]

A modern classic along with Unforgiven and Shawshank Redemption.

Kim Basinger looked her best, which was absolutely beautiful in the Natural and she looked stunning in this, and she was older.

0:27 The sick bastard is proud of his work, I love it

[SgtPareen]

awesome movie....never get tired of playing the movie and the soundtrack ...well done movie

[XxowendanxX]

Shotgun Ed!!...what a haunting tune, and goes great with the movie and this scene....

[georgebeier]

Remember, "Titanic", that beat this film for Best Picture? Yeah, that's what I thought. LA Confidential is a masterpiece.

[Gui-yp]

Easily one of the best movies ever made

[pedroaguilarjr.]

With no stop signs. No traffic signals. From downtown to the beach in 20 minutes.

[cosmokramer]

This film is truly an underrated masterpiece. It’s unfair that Titanic won almost everything at the 1998 Oscars

[glennmiller]

FANTASTIC movie!
Excellent story, with great actors.
By far one of the best, if not the best movies of all time

[ranahasan]

What a classic crime thriller. Brilliant movie n i like this song. I saw this mpvie in 2020.

[chenzenzo]

Off the record.
On the QT.
And very, Hush...

[markJohnson-otny]

Even the soundtrack in this movie great ! M
