Ron Goodwin was an extraordinary composer, from tough and inspiring war film themes like this or "633 Squadron" and "The Battle of Britain", through the quaint but catchy theme to Margaret Rutherford's Miss Marple series and comedic scores to "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines" and "Monte Carlo or Bust". He didn't shy away from conducting concerts of his work either. A great talent.

Goodwin got a 2 minute standing ovation from the audience when he opened one of his concerts with the RTE Studio Orchestra with this theme in Ireland back in the 1980's.

'Tell him he's a traitor!' 'Tell him he's a renegade.' Best film ever.
Heitor Silva

One of the greatest Ron Goodwin film themes! He should have neem knighted for his services to music esp film themes!
The Barbary Ghost
This is one of my top 5 adventure films of all time. My dad got me into it when I was like 12 in the 80's. I love how so many homages have been made to it over the years in other films and games.

Ron Goodwin was an excellent composer for the British war films. He was a master of the fugue. So many great marches too.
Sweet Mother Of Pearl
Our youth orchestra is playing this this winter concert. I love it. We actually have the orginal score that ron used. Special.
Blake Moore
I love this movie, partially because of the score, but also because of its unrelenting suspense and lack of pretenses.
