I was 14 when this tune first appeared on the charts in the fall of 1963 and it became one of my favorites from that era. To this day its haunting melody brings back many sad memories and emotions of the weekend that JFK was assassinated.
The movie the video clip is from is actually "The Ogre of Athens" circa 1956. The Dragon is a notorious criminal in the movie and the little guy with glasses is mistakenly identified as him. So he pretends to be him, Walter Mittie style, and winds up running the local underground temporarily. The guy who hit him is one of the gang members who had found out the truth so he killed him at the end.
This is why I like so much good movies and series, every time I watch something good I discover some new excellent music or get reminded of some tracks that I've forgot .
As many other people here, I was brought by Outsider
This must be a scene from a movie taking place in Greece, then someone had the idea of putting this theme on it, the result is quite surprising, very artistic
One of my fondest memories is my dad bought me the whole album when it came out because he knew I loved this tune. He was the most thoughtful dad .Miss him.
