At the risk of being a bore I will mention Play Misty for Me. Clikt Eastwoods love of jazz comes through. After all it was him that made that film about Bird wasn' it?

Hi Gord

I find myself at a loss in this topic, because although I remember the films from way back, i dont remember the theme tunes, (except Casablanca, my favourite film).
Is there a list (say on Google) which gives this sort of info?
Perhaps then I could contribute to your thread.
Cheers John

Hi Gord
I have just realised that I have a Cd called "Jazz in Film" by a Terence Blanchard(Trumpet) group.
I'll give you more details if you are interested

Cheers John

Hi Gord,
I had an inspiration and posted "Film Jazz" into Spotify and was amazed by the huge number of hits.
Enough to keep me going for a long time.
