Elevator to the Gallows could be a parenthesis with music by Miles Davis improvising while watching images from the film by Louis Malles. Sorry for my english.A lot of people bought the record before going to watch the film
Sorry about that! Here it is: "...played by an actor named Al Jolson." Al Jolson is a famous actor from the start of the century. At the time he was one of the most popular performers in the world. These days he's perhaps more well known for his use of blackface and his involvement in that tradition.
@@soundfly No, I'm sorry. And thanks for clarifying what was said there. I totally remember now who Al Jolson wass, and his name is even there at the bottom of the screen lol, but I couldn't get Paul Robeson out of my mind at that moment for some reason, so I was all mixed up... even tho Paul Robeson is the exact opposite of Al Jolson. But idk, maybe that's why. You could actually hear those two names mentioned during many a discussion over the decades to this day. So yeah.. but the temporary confusion on this in my memory can more likely be blamed on self-induced sleep deprivation but idk lol. Thnx again
@@soundfly I really enjoyed this video, as film scoring has always been important to me, whether done by names ranging from Steinerto Newman to Herrmann to Williams. A little about Jolson. Some have claimed that, despite the blackface, he wasn't really racist, that he grew up as a child among black playmates in Washington, D.C. and that when segregation existed on Broadway, Jolson used his influence to pave the way for black performers like Ethel Waters.
A terrific, even comprehensive overview in less than 20 minutes. A truly fine job.

Amazing video! I’m getting into film scoring and this is exactly the information that I need to get perspective on the industry
yesterday i saw metropolis with live music and remembered this video ! it had some modern instruments and sounds, it was amazing
oooooh, sounds amazing!
It was probably the version filmed in the early 80s. Gorgio Morodor produced the sound trak consisting of several early 80 rock songs.
This video was great! Thanks!
This was wonderful! Thank you!
Could watch another few hours of this
Thanks for the Easter Egg ❤
This is so awesome
thank you
very nice video. well done
Sorry, what are you saying there in 5:57? Played it over many times but can't make out what you're saying

That looks like Ben Turpin showing off next to the piano. In fact I'm pretty sure it is him.
And Without The Best Composer Ever…Not Even a Mention..John Williams
Not true ! Williams is referred to at 15:10
