Goldsmith even added the wind sound, as if the listener was flying..great flick, great soundtrack....but most of Goldsmith's sound tract are exceptional. Another eg, Tora, Tora. Tora!!
Some of the greatest flight sequences ever filmed are in this movie.This soundtrack,for whatever reason, is hard to find.Amazon Music doesn't even have it! A real shame, one of the great soundtracks of all time.
My old man once told me there's a scene showing the General (James Mason) playing "Wargames" with his mistress. I remember saying to him "Oh, that isn't in the version I've seen" and, he replied "You got your money's worth in the cinema in those days..."
Thank you for capturing and sharing these beautiful, soothing sounds of nature. I just found this today but am sure I'll be using it many times in the future.
(Hauptmann Plane landed in the field, Stachel and Willi meet with Otto) Otto Heidemann: I flew over them Trucks, Thousands of them and continuous the same with their antiaircraft Guns. Kettering: Herr Hauptmann the replacements have arrived. But there only Half Trained. Otto Heidemann: I want everyone in The Air! Including Replacements.
Bruno Stachel is a nobody, a newly recruited junior officer in a First World War German combat squadron. But he is determined not to remain a nobody for long. He has his sights on the Blue Max - the most coveted of all German decorations - and he will do anything to get it. From the very moment he shoots down his first plane, everything he does is aimed in that direction: bedding his commander's wife, courting publicity at every turn, even arranging the deaths of his competitors... Jack D. Hunter's novel is a brilliant study of a pilot tortured by his naked ambition!!
I love this movie and score from my childhood (I was eleven). The movie was heavily promoted in Boys Life (for nearly a year) as a masculine war epic of bravery and courage (prior to its release). What was omitted from the Boys Life (now Scout Life) articles and ads was the heavy sexuality of the sub-plot Stachel (George Peppard) and the General's wife Kaeti von Klugemmann (Ursula Andress). The love/sex scenes are tame by today's standards but noteworthy enough for Playboy to give its sexiest scene in Cinema for 1966 (with pictorial highlights). For an eleven-year-old boy, this was well worth my $0.10 (yes I saw the movie at the Navy Base cinema and it was only a dime). Boys Life never did a follow-up on the movie, so I've assumed (all these years) that they were blind-sided by the sexual content of the movie and just kept their heads down and quiet. It also flew under my Mom's radar and there was no effort on her part to censure my viewing, however, from that point on she referred to Ursula Andress as Ursula "Undress". Of course, I still enjoy this movie a couple of times a year when life was simple and fun!
Gotta luv those base movie prices. If you can find them there is a series of novels involving the Bruno Stachel character. He doesn’t die in the end. Highly suggest the books. The Blue Max by Jack Hunter is the first book in the series. Incidentally, Hunter was in the US Army in WW2. An Intelligence officer if memory serves. An SS officer he interrogated was the basis for the Stachel character. Cheers
One of the undisputed Masterpieces of the great Jerry Goldsmith
Isn't it Elmer Bernstein?
A very good score. You can soar in. Your immagination.
Jerry is a Genius.

Love this movie mostly because
Of the soundtrack.
A great war film with superb air battle's should be better remembered than it is!

Can’t find it on Spotify either😡

I remember that version
In childhood, It was this movie that made me fall in love with flying
Bruno Stachel loves this music.

Fue una película proyectada en toda su espectacularidad de sonido y fotografía en 70mm en el cine Montoya en Junio de 1966.
Confirmed!

Saw this movie in 2018 and was underwhelmed. Should i give it another watch after reading the book.

4:52, I wonder is the recent Star Wars soundtrack “ The resistance” based on this? Sounds like a good foundation.
In the book...Stachel was only 19 years old! Also he had an affair with Von Heidelmann's wife.
Bruno Stachel was a real warrior. But he never became a NAZI. In the book, he was approached by Goerbles to join the party...he never did!!
