The score for that scene is orgasmic.
There was so much to dislike about DAF but like most Bond films you can always find something that can be recommended.
I thought Jill St John was very hot, and seeing her in those hot pants. So friggin seventies!
I just loved the scene when she told that bratty kid "Go blow up your pants"
and when she says to Dr. Metz; "You keep laying on that honker you're gonna get a shot in the mouth".
No one will ever say that Mankiewicz could not come up with quirky dialogue.
I've seen it WAY too many times. :-O
1. Space March YOLT
2. Blofeld's Laser DAF
3. Flight into Space MR
Rank these three. :)
I rank them as great. ;)
1.
2.

I would rant "Flight into Space" second. A near masterpiece of composing by Barry. along with the PTS this tune is the only thing that can be salvaged from a bad film.
Blofelds's Laser is good but someone had to be ranked third.
Just think of the great composers who did movie scores from the 1930's thru the 1970's. Seems like right around 1980 the studios stopped putting so much care into the soundtracks.
Maurice Jarre
Jerry Goldsmith
John Williams
Max Steiner
What do others think? Because that is something we can look at. Soundtracks from different eras vs. the last 20 years, looking specifically at how much care, effort, and quality we feel have been made for films during those times.
Thanks for the Persuaders music, @Thunderfinger! I didn't see much of that show, though I love both lead actors. :)
Therefore, thanks to you two I have an idea what we can focus on for a few days:
So let's look at "quality/effort/care taken with" soundtracks for films from 1960s,1970s,1980s vs. about 1990 till now.
At the same time, let's look at music made for TV shows.
Which also reminds me that David Arnold does the music, along with another gentleman whose name I cannot recall (Price?) for the BBC Sherlock series - and I do like that music very much.
I'll give my input tomorrow, but anyone can jump in now and chat more about music in these two mediums. Cheers!
OK, here is one TV show's theme song I actually didn't tire of ...
I clearly remember dancing to this (pretty much every time)

That & Mission: Impossible ruled.
Sorry for the delay. I plan on reviewing "Thunderball" tomorrow.
