LEJ Great musical movie scenes (145* d) RE: Great musical movie scenes 19 Jun 99


Don M- Absolutely right about the "Men of Harlech" scene in Zulu- brings a lump to my throat everytime I see it. Like the scene from The Man Who Would be King wwhen Sean Connery is standing on the suspension bridge as they cut loose the supports, and he stands proudly and sings, as Michael Kane joins in with tears in his eyes. Can't remember the name of the song, but along the lines of a British Military Hymn.

Men of Harlech was also quite moving in A Child's Christmas in Wales , as Dylan Thomas' family all join in the singing of it.

John Huston's last film, The Dead , also had a very beautiful moment. The film depicts a dinner attended by a group of arguing and guilt-ridden family members and friends. As the party ends, and the snow begins to fall, an opera singer in attendance is asked to sing a song. The sound fills the darkening house, bringing with it a sense of beauty and healing to all who hear it. Does anyone remember this movie, or the name of that song?
