The Long Night (1947)
Music
This was a great film and I echo the comments already made.
Original music was by Dimitri Tiomkin, one of the great composers for film.
However, most of the time you hear the second movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, which has the right atmosphere of foreboding required. Obviously, no copyright problems involved, but poor old Ludwig von deserves a mention!
Ha'penny Breeze (1950)
Theme tune
I saw this movie when it was first released in about 1950. It was a typical British B movie made on a low budget but was pleasant enough. The story basically was how a group of friends got together to build a small sailing yacht (the "Ha'penny Breeze") which they entered in a race. Guess who won!
However, I remember the movie particularly because it had a very tuneful theme, which was broadcast a lot on radio at that time and must have gone quite high in the charts (if there were charts then). I recall that it was written by Phil Green, a bandleader and light music composer.
