Gil Mellé - The Desert (1973)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2011
- Music clip culled from the ABC Movie of the Week entitled "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1973) in which injured pilot Steve Austin (actor Lee Majors) is sent on a test mission in the Middle East desert to spot a military base and to free a prisoner. Electronic composer Gil Mellé fashions a music piece that first exploits melancolic classical music and jazz fanfare then switches to electro-modernist music and silky smooth jazz funk (see the eloquent race through the desert from 01:28).

According to an interview by Lee Majors, this was his first scene EVER as Steve Austin. He spent an entire day running around the dunes thinking to himself what kind of a show have I gotten myself into.
The desertmusic from the movie the six million dollar man was great this was truly the beginning of the six million dollar man the greatest tv series everever
This is from the pilot episode, before the "bionic" sounds were incorporated into Steve Austin's actions. Gil Melle did the music, and it was awesome as always. He is one of my favorite jazz musicians.
The music is what made the six million dollar man series good.
This scene really set the entire series up.
Theese were the best movies of the 80s.
So great, one of my childhood shows and such stellar music... Gil Mellé RULES.
Love the music composition from this movie; it really adds to the film in all ways
I wish the whole 5 year run of the series had this kind of science fiction theme. This running in the desert segment introduced us to the abilities of a bionic man, no silly sound effect, etc.
the music and sound effects to add tension were superb in this movie
I hear this music and I feel like having a martini.
strange: I have exactly the same feeling listening to this music I really enjoy.
I’ll drink to that
Go ahead. Have one!
Great movie to a great show, love Gil mele's jazzy music
OMG!I just watched this yesterday on DVD.my extreme interest in the show landed me a job working with prosthetics and orthopedic frames years ago.i used to build artificial limbs.thanks for this clip.
I like the part that you run in the desert!
Yeah back again , this is dope!! ( the music) and you know he's running close to 60 mph in the desert, no sound effect, no slow motion, dope!!!
Lol it literally has a slow motion run superimposed over the regular running 🤦♂️
@@jeetkunedoatlanta2464 Still dope :)
Thank you so much for that video. Gille Mellé and Oliver Nelson have given the style of that TV serie. Magical!!!
It was the best shows ever
Lee majors is the best actor for 6 million dollar man series.
best mood inducing music in the world!
I've waited YEARS for someon to post this segment from the 6 Million Dollar Man pilot. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Cuando vivia en Mexico no me perdia sus peliculas era una de mis favoritas
musically interesting to say the least, I've seen this movie enough times to really appreciate how deeply this scene is ingrained with the amazing score, it can go to the dramatic in an instant then back to the eerily strange effects emotionally jerking you around...great stuff
Yes, even as a kid, what occurred to me, is that not long ago, this Austin was legless, with one arm and one eye. And, now, he must be having the time of his life RUNNING, under the blazing sun!!!!!!!!! 😎
Incredible and triple-double groovy good job!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great score and cinematography here. Even though this is supposed to be the middle east, it was actually filmed at the Imperial Sand Dunes in California, which is used for off road recreation. I drove through this area once and the scenery is incredible
Fantastic music
this is way before SMDM was co-opted by network bosses into a kids show. It was originally full-on sci-fi. Those shots of him running were superb imo..--like he is still not quite acclimated to bionic limbs. No sfx sounds just the lone agent in the desert running way faster than is normal.
One of my favorite moments. That, and the kid rescue, from burning alive.
This pilot was the best Six Million Dollar tv movie before the series was adapted by Producer Have Bennett. The music was great and the story was compelling, i liked both Oliver Spencer by Daren Mcgavin and Oscar Goldman played by Richard Anderson. I think we should have seen Oliver Spencer as a guest role in the series.
imo this is why the intro was such a work of media art.. its all stuff from the pilot episode.
how much effort used to go into the music on TV shows !!!!
Thanks for the great clip of him running. The slow motion crap got old even when I was a kid!
I hear ya, Krystal!
That’s how ya make a real good show pal
They so need to release all the music from TSMDM!
It's amazing how the musical composition sets the ambiance and mood! While this sounds very nice, you don't feel it's the same Six Million Dollar Man as when watching the episodes featuring the great Oliver Nelson's musical scores.
great post....thx...
Surely even our bionic hero needs a hat and shades in the blazing desert Sun. Budget cuts in the 70’s too !
A soundtrack recording should have been made!!’
"Oliver Spencer", played by Darren McGavin, was a cold, unsentimental, and ruthlessly efficient character in this movie. When the succeeding pilot movies and series got going, Richard Anderson's "Oscar Goldman" was introduced as Steve Austin's more compassionate boss and friend.
While ruthless is questionable, he definitely gave Austin the kick in the butt he desperately needed.
I remember back in the first year of the show Lee Majors complaining about the physical workout in this pilot, endlessly running through sand dunes.
Oh, yeah? Fascinating. What else did he say?
Supposedly the producers looked at the dailies when it was about to go to series and determined that the slight speeding up looked ludicrous. Based on the pilot i just didnt see it but what do i know. Instead they did slo-mo which looked even more silly. But it became iconic with that weird sound effect. Should have kept it more scifi but it still had a long run and a buncha tv movies. I would like to see a more serious version like what they did with battlestar galactica and lost in space though.
Legal parabéns ótimo 🎷📻🎧🎤🎼🎼🎹🎹🎹🎙🎙🎵
This is how they should show the running parts in all 3 original tv movies of the SMDM
and during the show's original five year run. The british packaging of this show is just a bit
better.I would like to have that verson of the SMDM video box set. Peace.
Check out the way he puts the compass in his back pocket!!
I feel stupid. I thought Gil Melle stood for 100 Miles, as in that's how far he ran, because the enemy base could detect a plane with their radar.
awesome 3fer!
He ran until he got to the Rat Patrol set!
I love the music track all the way through this pilot movie, would love a copy without dialogue and cuts but can I find a CD? My favourite TV movie pilot but I am going to say that.
Funny if he got lost
How do you not get this video blocked? I put up a short clip from the show, completely removed the audio and it was blocked worldwide five days later.
In that episode, The Desert And The Moon, remember when Steve saved the little kid in that vehicle that was about to explode? I just saved your kid's life and risked my own in doing so and that's the thanks I get? "What are you?'
lee majors that's my boo
Love this clip so much- Thanks for posting!
That scene had to be a bitch to shoot, doing all the sprints in the sand like that in a desert? UGH
Very Columbo-like.
STEVEN BOCHCO OF LA LAW AND NYPD BLUE DID A UNCREDITED REWRITE ON THIS MOVIE WHEN IT WAS CALLED CYBORG THE TWO MOVIES THAT FOLLOWED IT WERE TOO MUCH LIKE THE BOND MOVIES WHEN IT BECAME A SERIES THE PRODUCER HARVE BENNETT MADE STEVE AUSTIN LESS JAMES BOND MORE GARRY COOPER AND THE REST WAS HISTORY ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT TV PILOTS
queria ver o filme completo
que bueno seria volver a verlos todos los capitulos completos en dvds originales,cuando será el dia que lo editen?cuantos años mas tenemos que esperar?
Somone...please explain what is going on with these chords! Mind-blowing.
very cool but wouldn't Austin's heart burst by running 60MPH?
You forget with his bionic limbs his heart is not over taxed. Just his real arm and the rest of his body depend on it...
The decision to show Steve Austin running in slow motion throughout the series when he was supposed to be running at superfast speed was just dumb.
Oliver Nelson was so much better at setting the mood for the show
This was so believable then! The later episodes were so freakin corny! They’re so hard to watch now. Almost like an insult to your intelligence!
02:06 xD
Dude looks like he's 60yrs old. But, I just looked up his date of birth. He's only 34 in this film!!

I wonder if this would be a good show to bring back in 2021-22 etc... with inflation it would be called: The $36,088,378.38 bitcoin man...
Majors is God,, Bioninics
P
Oliver Nelson's music was way better for the show. This score sounds real boring compared to Oliver Nelson's music
Very physically fit. Better than those freak bodybuilders...and many times stronger too, thanks to his bionics!
