Casio61 I Totally Agree with You, The late 60s, early 70s, The early 80s, The Late 90s and 2000s was the greatest periods for films of all time. A few examples include this film, In The Heat Of The Night (1967), Almost Famous (2000), The French Connection (1971). These films were made from great generation to CUCKED Generation. Even the 2000s wasn't that CUCKED. These films I do not pay to go see today.
...its 1973 and your sitting alone in the balcony of declining single screen theater in Nowheresville USA, The Getaway ends and this music starts. Its a snowy mid week late show and there are maybe five or six other people in the lower auditorium .You peel out of the seat and walk down the very worn red carpeted stair case into an empty lobby . You pause while mining your coat pocket for a Camel and a match . You spot the manager atop a ladder removing the heavy black steel letters for "The Getaway" hanging from the marquee.He drops the letters into a old five gallon paint bucket from about 10 feet above and each one arrives dead center with a loud clank The bottom rung of the ladder has a folded movie poster draped over it and lying in the snow next to that are seven or eight faded lobby cards exploiting Steve and Ali. All while this music follows you into the lobby and out the door..You step out into the cold snowy night ,Toots still playing in your head, you light the smoke, it tastes so good after two hours plus without one, you take a long pull on it. The mix of cold air along with the blast of unfilterd nicotine jars you back to reality. You look up say good night to the manager who you know by name ,tell him to say thanks to the projectionist, who you also know by name, and he replies "You Bet".without even looking down and you are on your way Toots, Sam , & Steve . It was a great night at the movies .
If you're not a writer by trade, then you may have missed your calling. Your story could have been lifted directly from my memories. The cold snowy air and the camels did the trick !
Great tale. I met Toots at the Dakota in St Paul MN. I’d found, printed, and passed out the worlds to his signature Bluesette (who knew it had words?) Anyway, towards the end of the set, as he played it, we all chimed in singing the words. He was speechless - adding that he’d never liked the lyrics.
.. I am an Italian, with music in my veins .. and I declare this to be by far .. the best musical ending to a film I've ever heard .. Quincy Jones, you’re Great!!!
To Claudio:In his bio book Quincy Jones credits the great Henry Mancini for opening the door for him to score non white film productions when the powers that be at the studios try to limit him to black or jazz scoring of films.
We had movie night at the academy and back in 73 this was the movie. I took a break and went to see it.. A little over two decades later I found myself living south of the border driving an old Toyota 4X4 with a beautiful tica brunette by my side. So you see I did learn something while there.
I saw this movie as a kid when it came out in 72 I believe. I was about 11 years old. Anyway, I loved this movie with McQueen and McGraw. And I also loved this theme music at the end. Especially the harmonica part of it. I was not familiar with Quincy Jones at the early age of my life. But, It's amazing to me how influential he was in the 60's and early 70's. I mean he has a huge body of work. Very impressive.
Toots and Quincy were two musically legendary giants. This was also a really outstanding Steve McQueen movie, really one of my favorites of his, which is saying a lot. It really must have taken some kind of brain damage or bad drugs for someone to decide to do a remake of that movie classic :)
I can’t believe it…! This is my all-time favorite. Thank you for uploading this! The music in this movie with Toots thielemans playing harmonica is the only reason, I am playing harmonica…!
I AM VERY GLAD STEVE McQUEEN WAS ABLE TO TALK QUINCY INTO WRITING THE MUSIC FOR THIS FILM. QUINCY HAD JUST FINISHED WRITING THE MUSIC FOR HIS GOOD FRIEND SEAN CONNERY, THE MOVIE WAS " THE ANDERSON TAPES." THE GREAT QUINCY JONES.
Steve McQueen was so cool. British audiences met him when they saw The Magnificent Seven. Ground breaking western with such laid back dialogue even the bad guys had good lines - Eli Wallach on meeting his seven opponents - ''We're surrounded - all 50 of us.''
Don't forget the Don Elliott voices! He added a lot to this soundtrack and others. For example, Elliot voices "The Hot Rock" just as excellently! One guy sounding like a whole chorus.
As someone else has mentioned, this, indeed, was the first movie that broke the code about “bad guys“ having to be caught for their crimes at the end of a movie. It had never been done before. You can have your loot suddenly taken away from you by “God” like the wind storm at the end of “Treasure of Sierra Madre”, but you were never allowed to take your loot with you and get away with it. Of course, that’s the reason the movie and the book it was based on was called “The Getaway“. Peckinpah really wanted to flip the bird at these censors and broke the mold. Movies have never been the same. Ironically, the author of the book, Jim Thompson, also wrote “The Killing”, which Stanley Kubrick made into a movie and used the same plot device as “Treasure” wherein they also lose their loot, this time in the airport, where it is stuffed into a suitcase, which overturns on a motorized cart on the way to being loaded onto the plane, and again the wind casts it into the heavens! But by the time he wrote “The Getaway”, he decided it was time that they get rewarded for “all their work”. I remember seeing this movie with my father at the Writers Guild theater. It was a screening and filled with mostly writers and their family. I so very clearly remember that at the end of the film when we saw this moment where Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw drive down that road on that long shot, we kept waiting for police cars to come speeding behind them, but instead, the credits came up and rolled, and it said THE END and the lights in the theater came up. And I swear you could hear a loud audible gasp from the audience having never seen anything like that before!
Steve McQueen! The Getaway, Sand Peebles, Papillon, Tom Horn, Nevada Smith. Great Escape there's more but you get my drift. Just a laid back type of actor .It was like he wasn't trying to act.
En España está escena final fue prohibida porque el régimen de Franco consideraba que ningún crimen debía quedar impune sin castigo. El tipo mató un millón de personas y hablaba de impunidad. Terrible payaso.
The unmistakable Toots Thielmans, what sounds this master made!
great supporting actors. what made 60’s-70’s films so wonderful
Yes, yes & yes.
They really don't exist anymore & there are no films made like this anymore.
The late 60s and early 70s was the greatest period for movies ever. No question.

You can easily ad the 50's
67-73 were some golden years for movies.
@@mattbullseye3211 génération gold ! ...la meilleure décennie 67//77...après c'est fini !
Classic 4 sure

I love this movie and the music.

Love this movie and always loved the end title sound track too, thanks for posting

There were quite a few movies that ended like this back in the day. "Pocket Money" comes to mind. Great song Quincy and Toots.
...so Wonderful...!
Love this soundtrack ...nice memories ❤️
Toots and Quincy were two musically legendary giants.
This was also a really outstanding Steve McQueen movie, really one of my favorites of his, which is saying a lot. It really must have taken some kind of brain damage or bad drugs for someone to decide to do a remake of that movie classic :)
Yeah the remake was so bad !!! Alec Baldwin aint Steeve Mc Queen
'brain damage' perfect summation ... Baldwin cannot stand in McQueen's shadow ... but then he does know how to kill !!!
@@brucewayne3602 Tell it, Batman.
One of my favorites by Quincy!
truly the ultimate "feel good" scene of all time !!!
R.I.P Quincy Jones. Maestro.
Three good things. Slim Pickens, Steve McQueen, and that harmonica song.
I can’t believe it…! This is my all-time favorite. Thank you for uploading this! The music in this movie with Toots thielemans playing harmonica is the only reason, I am playing harmonica…!
Phil Argent Toots is the greatest harmonica sound ever. Nice to be Around, Midnight Cowboy and Billy Joel's Leave a Tender Moment Alone
The Getaway
I love this soundtrack the movie Nice!✨💥💫✨
Thanks for the upload. Could not find the song anywhere but here.
Toots for Ever! great artist!👍
Toots was probably the greatest harmonica player ever, and he played the fiddle and whistled too
I AM VERY GLAD STEVE McQUEEN WAS ABLE TO TALK QUINCY INTO WRITING THE MUSIC FOR THIS FILM. QUINCY HAD JUST FINISHED WRITING THE MUSIC FOR HIS GOOD FRIEND SEAN CONNERY, THE MOVIE WAS " THE ANDERSON TAPES." THE GREAT QUINCY JONES.
Es indescriptible lo que una armónica puede provocar en uno
REAL ARTISTS 🎬✨🎵🎵
Yo he visto tantas veces esta película y nunca me cansaré de verlo, es una obra de arte y la banda sonora que me marca la armónica 😃
Toots and Slim also together for 'The Flim Flam Man'. 2 of my top 10 films of all-time!!!!!💜💜💜🎥🎥🎥🎥
MITICI PER SEMPRE!!!
R.I.P. Quincy Jones
Thoots...R.I.P 🕆🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
its a wonderfull melodie.its good to relax....but at the end of this song you be frightened :)
Thanks
Rest in peace Toots.
toots thielemans genial armonicista.dep
Thiis one Steve's finest films, he met Ali, and got married..
Steve McQueen was so cool. British audiences met him when they saw The Magnificent Seven. Ground breaking western with such laid back dialogue even the bad guys had good lines - Eli Wallach on meeting his seven opponents - ''We're surrounded - all 50 of us.''
Any time you have McQueen AND Slim in the same movie, you can't go wrong..
Don't forget the Don Elliott voices! He added a lot to this soundtrack and others.
For example, Elliot voices "The Hot Rock" just as excellently! One guy sounding like a whole chorus.
Yes ! But very hard to find that version on cd/vinyl (with Don Elliott voice). There just to tracks on Quincy album...

You maybe right…a time before the blockbusters
ending theme
Quincy Jones & Toots Thielemans
Rip steve mcqueen
Essa música me encanta.
Trilha de Quincy Jones.
TOOTS !
Steve McQueen! The Getaway, Sand Peebles, Papillon, Tom Horn, Nevada Smith. Great Escape there's more but you get my drift. Just a laid back type of actor .It was like he wasn't trying to act.
Belin Gonza And, sadly, 8 years later he was gone . . .
Just wondering, where Slim’s truck is nowadays . St.Paul.Minnesota.
A huge Pontiac Catalina in the final scene on the straight line
I love info like that , thank you.
Is there a name to this song? If there is, could someone tell me?
lalala laa la
"Doc McCoy" -- a name that was already familiar to Star Trek fans.
Sounds like the beginning to Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle
You just can’t buy it , can you ?
"Punch it baby!"
8 years later Steve died a few miles from that spot.
Legal.
Kind of like Walt rolling his barrel to the Indian's house.
