I also saw this with my family back in New York as a kid... yes, when I hear this music or see the movie, it brings back memories of my now-gone parents.
+James Casad I became a pilot, flew in the Navy, and after my Navy days flew aircraft for the next 40 years, and did meet Ernie Gann, the author of the book the movie "High and Mighty" was based on. As my dad said later in life, "you flyers seem to find one another, a fraternity of aviators".
Me TOO! I must have been about 8yrs old. Wednesday treat was the Carlton cinema in Boscombe and fish and chips after. This theme seems to have been with me all my life and reminds me immediately of mum and dad....
This is one of the most pretty and sentimental instrumentals I have ever heard. It reminds me of the 20th century, at lease the soft parts. I was born in the 40’s. 🎷☎️👗👖☕️⛸🎟🧩📺📽📸
I was a seven year old sitting on the hood of mom and dad's car at the Drive-In on a cool evening listening to this wonderful theme song. I do not remember much of the movie, but I have whistled the song a thousand times. It excites me to hear it especially when performed by Roger Williams.
I saw this movie in 1954 when I was about 9. As I just listened to this haunting theme, it brought back memories of John Wayne's solemn face, lit by flames of a burning aircraft.
Oh My Gosh,I have tears with the memory of this song and movie...My Dad a pilot taking me to see this movie....Was 8 yrs old.....in 54'......He could not wait to see it..Alwasy loved the music.....40 yrs a Capt in the glamour days.. So different now..
Music i remember when i was still a child and at a young age i appreciated it a lot! Now i am 67 going 68 and i remembered it and looked for it, now here am i
No matter how young there some things in life you never forget and this is one. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for taking me to see this beautiful movie and hear the wonder-inspiring music. And thank you, 65Seasons for posting it.
To my mind, this wondrous music and whistling brings to life to an old oil painting of a lone hiker making his way through the English countryside in Spring. I dedicate this heavenly tune in very loving memory of My Heavenly-resplendent Mother -- Helen. She always liked tunes with whistling in them. My Eternally beloved Ma, rest in divine splendor in Christ's loving arms. I'll be with you, Dad and the rest of our loved ones in Glory -- soon enough. Countless thanks to composers Ned Washington, Dimitri Tiomkin, Victor Young, and, of course, Muzzy Marcellino for his truly heavenly whistling! Countless thanks to 65Seasons!
Great music from a movie a lot of people have never seen. Hollywood has lost their touch with music in movies today. Great song writers like mancini, conti, tompkin are no more.
Thank you for this great music. My dad has passed on and used to whistle as good as in this video & I have never heard anyone else whistle like this. Sure brought back wonderful memories listening to it.
My Dad was a phenomenal whistler too. Don t know how he did it . Seems he whistles great in this song and in an old Bing Crosby song as well. I forgot the name of it though .
Growing up in Los Angeles in the 1960s, Channel 9 offered the Sunday Night Movie at 7:00 PM and this was their theme song. Wherever we were in the house, when we heard the whistling we knew it was time for the family to gather in the living room to watch the featured movie.
So beautiful and moving... i just watched the movie on TV,and love the romantic atmosphere of this famous theme song, despite the very dramatic and scary situation
Fred Lowery was the whistler on the original theme. He was a blind professional Whistler who made Indian Love Song a whistling hit. He performed at my junior high school in 61 or 62. He was a phenomenal whistler.
Great piece and whistling too! Thanks friend for the name of the "whistler". This is the kind of music I love to hear "in-flight" or out of flight!. Yes, sure miss our "loved ones"...probably they are listening too, out there somewhere! Heard it on Curtin FM Radio, WA. They play such memorable songs and instrumentals!...Keep it up you folks, out there! Music like this makes you want to "fly like a bird" and soar to the limits!
My Dad whistled this tune when I was small.I just knew it was powerful and nice.My Mom took my sisters and I to see it at the Drive In later after it was out awhile.I fell asleep and wasn t much into it.They were crying and things like that.Too funny now decades later.
Qdo ouço esta musica,volto no tempo e lembro do meu amado Pai.Eu,minha amada Mãe e o meu amado Pai assistimos o fime The high and the mighty, não precisa dizer mais nada,o tema musical me faz muito emocionado e uma saudade imensa deles fala maus forte,eu fico traído pela emoção. A saudade é o amor que fica.Obrigado pela postagem.
Who can whistle like that today? You never hear this with songs any more. I don't know if I saw the film version but I certainly remember the song. I probably heard it on my radio a number of times. I was 11 or 12 at the time.
I still like this song I remember as a kid in member the movie very well I always loved it I used to hear it even in my sleep and today I still wish to it and still hear it
It takes me back to my High School days when me and my close buddies would always go the show on Sundays,those were good days and fond memories , Chicago in the 1950's Henri Wadsworth
They just don't compose beautiful music like this anymore. They would call it crappy or cheesy or whatever they call sentimental music these days anymore.
there you are this it the music i had been longing to hear for such a long time i only happen to hear it being a background of a radio drama program so nice i love this classic tune thank you for posting thank you
..........The great ......DIMITRI TIOMKIN !!!........ Along with Max Steiner, Miklós Rózsa, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Franz Waxman, Tiomkin was one of the most productive and decorated film music writers of Hollywood during the Golden Era..
The great bass legend Jaco Pastorius often worked this whistler's melody into his solos. It is a fascinating, complex melody; apparently it intrigued him.
Years ago, the late actor, Jerry Orbach, told a story about when he was on his honeymoon, flying either to or from the honeymoon destination. He said that the plane was having some sort of mechanical trouble, and that the pilot actually had to inform the passengers of this over the intercom. When everyone else on the plane started freaking out, Orbach said he just sat there and started whistling the theme to The High and the Mighty. I'd like to think that had I been on the plane, I would have stopped in the middle of my terrified screaming to laugh at Orbach.
This worldly journey is over for a lonely wanderer. The weary but joyful traveler whistles this tune as he ascends through the clouds -- towards Heaven. Along the way, he is greeted by Heaven's angels. The tune ends at the gates of Heaven -- with Jesus and all of his loved ones welcoming him "home."

I wish I could find the Les Baxter version on RUclips :0( Thought I found it but it wouldn't play. Beauriful choral and orchestral build at the end that this can't touch. But thanks for this, for what it is.
Just heard this song sung by Snooky Lansen (sp?) on a RUclips clip of "Your Hit Parade 1954". Never knew there were lyrics. Hokey production, but great melody.
@shirl328, then the video-effects must have been a success..... :) It makes me happy knowing that a viewer enjoyed it too, as i did in creating it. ....:)
@Jamesmac30, it's ok. There really is nothing to correct. The "more info" states the composer is Dmitri Tiomkin. Victor Young was the conductor of the Victor Young Orchestra..... :)

Ernest Gann the author was an AA captain for many years.In his autobiography Fate is the Hunter he relates the incident which caused him to write this book.The movie Fate is the Hunter is crap and has no relationship to the book.
My Dad would whistle it all the time; It Never Got Old!!! Shine On☝️✌️🤗😃😗🎶🪶
I also saw this with my family back in New York as a kid... yes, when I hear this music or see the movie, it brings back memories of my now-gone parents.
Saw this with my Mom and Dad when I was an impressionable boy of 13 in 1954. They're gone now, this song always brings them back to me.

I was 10 and went with Mom and Dad to the nearby drive-in theater. Will never forget the wonder of the movie, or their love for one another and me.
Me too!

Jane, yes this music takes me back to my childhood like no other music. Wow. Amazing.

It brings me back where this world is at peace... Plain and beautiful
Hi , this is one of my dads favorite. Wherever you are papa this is for you..! I miss you.
+minda mendoza My Dad's favorite song too. He usually whistles this whenever his playing chess with my Mom...miss him so much.
I always love this song, reminds me of the days where life’s not too complicated

One of the most beautiful movie themes ever written!
Without a doubt!
i totally agree
Such beautiful soundtracks back in the day ... The High and the Mighty, Around the World in 80 Days, Moon River, Laurence of Arabia, Exodus ...

I remember watching this every Friday night on Netflix and just whistling the song, tearing up as I did it.
Very memorable music remembering the past memories i am playing this piece several times.
Wowww! 😯 How beautiful
Great music from a movie a lot of people have never seen. Hollywood has lost their touch with music in movies today. Great song writers like mancini, conti, tompkin are no more.
My father was a pilot and he also whistled, this reminds me so of him, thank you for the hearing again.
Thank you for this great music. My dad has passed on and used to whistle as good as in this video & I have never heard anyone else whistle like this. Sure brought back wonderful memories listening to it.
That was great whistling then from your father and Victor.

Aahh,when music was music!
This is so beautiful. I remember it but I don't remember the program it was associated with.. I would run down the hallway just to hear it best.
My most memorable music. THANK YOU mr. Victor Young. 1000X
I was 3 years old when I heard this beautiful song and its arrangement and I never forgot it. I also never forgot the lassie tv theme song.
thanks for sharing everyone, we sure miss our loved ones,

Thank you so much for the information!
LOVED IT. I LANDED IN 1967. LOOKED JUST LIKE THAT. GOD BLESS
Maurice "Muzzy" Marcellino is the whistler on this sound track.He also did the whisting for The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly.He passed away in 1997.
And the one that I remember well from the mid 1950's.... "Lassie" Great artist!!!
Mr Young, you're one of the best 🎶🎵🎼🎧😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
I was 8 years old, never forget that music.
Such memories of youth.

saudade do tempo que as rádios FM faziam programas especiais
Thanks for sharing your creative talents with us, and for reminding us what beautiful movie music sounds like!
Beautiful ! !
Nice music of the unforgettable victor young. Love it 🎼🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
Victor was surely touched by the hand of God !!!!

my mom's favorite; every time she heard it on the radio she remembered me. Now every time I hear it, reminds me of her...
MARAVILHOSA! Essa música é uma das minhas favoritas. Muito obrigada por postar.

Gosh , I haven't heard this tune in 55 years as the tune played on the radio as she ironed she would hum along .
When 101.1FM signed on for the first time in Philadelphia, this was the first song they ever played.
An AM radio that my godfather got from Coca-cola is where i remember this sound what a great fast i had with them .If only i could go back in time.
I still like this song I remember as a kid in member the movie very well I always loved it I used to hear it even in my sleep and today I still wish to it and still hear it
It takes me back to my High School days when me and my close buddies would always go the show on Sundays,those were good days and fond memories , Chicago in the 1950's Henri Wadsworth
Era a favorita do meu pai, também! Adoro essa música. Obrigada pela postagem.
So immortal, so devine
What a virile movie !!! theme song multiplies this mood.
That was a memorable series, too.
They just don't compose beautiful music like this anymore. They would call it crappy or cheesy or whatever they call sentimental music these days anymore.
That's because the music industry has lost its heart and soul. All that's left now are synthesizers and electronics.
there you are this it the music i had been longing to hear for such a long time i only happen to hear it being a background of a radio drama program so nice i love this classic tune thank you for posting thank you
Great Movie and song.
Great song, great movie.
Que linda recordação! Ameiiiiiii!
One of my Favorite movies and Song!
LORD.....YOU'RE the HIGH and the MIGHTY.
..........The great ......DIMITRI TIOMKIN !!!........ Along with Max Steiner, Miklós Rózsa, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Franz Waxman, Tiomkin was one of the most productive and decorated film music writers of Hollywood during the Golden Era..
Wow fantastic! Love it!!!
How very beautiful...
On Ed Sullivan they had a blind guy who came on and whistled theme from The High and the Mighty. Lots of Moms cried.
Há anos procuro por essa música... Doces lembranças da minha infância...
Lindo!
awesome! big thanks, sir/ms. feels just like the first time i heard. music is better remembered than the movie.
The great bass legend Jaco Pastorius often worked this whistler's melody into his solos. It is a fascinating, complex melody; apparently it intrigued him.
*Best 👍 of emen 🙏
Good one
Agreed with james, the composer was Dimitri Tiompkin, The ochestra , Victor Young.
Thanks for sharing.

agora eu realmente encontrei um musico de verdade
I wish I could find the Les Baxter version on RUclips :0( Thought I found it but it wouldn't play. Beauriful choral and orchestral build at the end that this can't touch. But thanks for this, for what it is.
Thanks! I've put up LeRoy Holmes' version of The High And The Mighty, which is also great - but I LOVED your video. Beautiful!
Few songs capture the drama and romance of flight quite the way this one does. Sort of like the theme music to the poem "Hight Flight".
Just heard this song sung by Snooky Lansen (sp?) on a RUclips clip of "Your Hit Parade 1954". Never knew there were lyrics. Hokey production, but great melody.
thanks, david.
65:)
Sadly, Tiomkin and Washington did not get the Oscar for Best Song. That went to "Three Coins In The Fountain" that year.
I want this played when I die
Does anyone else remember this from "Emma's, the superlative florist" commercials in Nashville in the '70s?
so many movies were spun off from this - this was spun from "Stagecoach"
@shirl328, then the video-effects must have been a success..... :)

for my parents...
I read and article quoting John Wayne, he said when flying on a plane, he liked to whistle the theme song to freak people out

A slight correction - this was composed by Dimitri Tiompkin
The "Million Dollar Movie" theme as well --- wasn't it???
hello! would you like make a score for a movie that i am making?
i am portuguese.
:´)
Not enough songs these days contain whistling.
I believe that was "Tara's Theme" from Gone With the Wind, no?
There's a version of this with lyrics? I thought it was an instrumental.
Ernest Gann the author was an AA captain for many years.In his autobiography Fate is the Hunter he relates the incident which caused him to write this book.The movie Fate is the Hunter is crap and has no relationship to the book.
mike89128 think it was the four freshmen who sang it. Friendly Persuasion was my favorite by patboibe
Whoever wrote the screenplay to the movie Fate Is The Hunter: " Who's Ernest K. Gann? I'll just make up my own story."
