  • Description

    The original LP of "Great Motion Picture Themes" - on CD here for the first time - containing songs from hit movies of the time, such as "Exodus", "The Alamo", "Magnificent Seven", "Never on Sunday" and "The Big Country".

    The LP "Great Motion Picture Themes" reached number 2 in the Best Selling Albums chart in 1961 and remained in the charts for a staggering 81 weeks earning itself a gold album award. This was a compilation album of mainly motion picture theme songs derived from the United Artists film catalogue. Some of the numbers were solo hits - Theme from "The Apartment" and "Exodus" were both Top Ten hits, "Never on Sunday" reached #19, Theme from "The Magnificent Seven" and TV's "Bonanza" also charted. On this release Marilyn Monroe appears singing "I Wanna Be Loved By You" from "Some Like It Hot".
