♥ 'The High and the Mighty'♫ Victor Young

Music: The High and the Mighty
Performing Artist: Victor Young

Composer: Dmitri Tiomkin

"The High and the Mighty" is a song by Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin from the movie of the same name.
At the start of the film's production late in 1953, veteran film composer and musician Dimitri Tiomkin was commissioned to write the film's Academy Award winning score. The studio also urged Tiomkin to come up with a theme song for the film, to be released to radio and as a vinyl record. Tiomkin formed the basic melody to the song and enlisted songwriter Ned Washington to write the song's lyrics.

I also saw this with my family back in New York as a kid... yes, when I hear this music or see the movie, it brings back memories of my now-gone parents.

I was a seven year old sitting on the hood of mom and dad's car at the Drive-In on a cool evening listening to this wonderful theme song. I do not remember much of the movie, but I have whistled the song a thousand times. It excites me to hear it especially when performed by Roger Williams.

Saw this with my Mom and Dad when I was an impressionable boy of 13 in 1954. They're gone now, this song always brings them back to me.

To my mind, this wondrous music and whistling brings to life to an old oil painting of a lone hiker making his way through the English countryside in Spring. I dedicate this heavenly tune in very loving memory of My Heavenly-resplendent Mother -- Helen. She always liked tunes with whistling in them. My Eternally beloved Ma, rest in divine splendor in Christ's loving arms. I'll be with you, Dad and the rest of our loved ones in Glory -- soon enough. Countless thanks to composers Ned Washington, Dimitri Tiomkin, Victor Young, and, of course, Muzzy Marcellino for his truly heavenly whistling! Countless thanks to 65Seasons!

No matter how young there some things in life you never forget and this is one. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for taking me to see this beautiful movie and hear the wonder-inspiring music. And thank you, 65Seasons for posting it.

I saw this movie in 1954 when I was about 9. As I just listened to this haunting theme, it brought back memories of John Wayne's solemn face, lit by flames of a burning aircraft.

One of the most beautiful movie themes ever written!

[DiscriminateTaste]

Such beautiful soundtracks back in the day ... The High and the Mighty, Around the World in 80 Days, Moon River, Laurence of Arabia, Exodus ...

[bongtolentino]

It brings me back where this world is at peace... Plain and beautiful

Growing up in Los Angeles in the 1960s, Channel 9 offered the Sunday Night Movie at 7:00 PM and this was their theme song. Wherever we were in the house, when we heard the whistling we knew it was time for the family to gather in the living room to watch the featured movie.

Great music from a movie a lot of people have never seen. Hollywood has lost their touch with music in movies today. Great song writers like mancini, conti, tompkin are no more.

[CeciliaManansala]

[minda]

Hi, this is one of my dads favorite. Wherever you are papa this is for you..! I miss you.

[philipchretienkarlsson]

So beautiful and moving... i just watched the movie on TV, and love the romantic atmosphere of this famous theme song, despite the very dramatic and scary situation

[asgabeler]

My father was a pilot and he also whistled, this reminds me so of him, thank you for the hearing again.

[joyceblock]

Thank you for this great music. My dad has passed on and used to whistle as good as in this video & I have never heard anyone else whistle like this. Sure brought back wonderful memories listening to it.

[owenmccarthy]

I remember watching this every Friday night on Netflix and just whistling the song, tearing up as I did it.

[LuzM]
