Yes music played a huge part in the movies particularly at one time. Frankie Lane singing all through Gunfight at the OK Corral was particularly good. Obviously you dont get that sort of thing any more. The theme from The Magnificent Seven was hugely popular. There were many..remember the theme from A Fistful of Dollars. Going for populist scores was a way of marketing I guess. Everyone whistling or singing the tune and you just had to go find out more about the movie and the music. These themes used to go into the top twenty those days creating a great buzz of enthusiasm for one movie or other.
