Why do people keep naming 60s films with 4 minutes of musical intros when I’m asking for 40s and 50s films with 10 minute credit intros lol?
Edit: overture is the word I was looking for, not “musical intro”. But that’s not a thing that happened in early cinema (barring Chaplin, who had strict control of scores - would be interested if someone else cares to google that)
4 minutes? Not the version I saw in theatre, my friend. Mind you, it’s not exactly what you wanted either, even though it was longer than ten minutes of music at the start: a lot of it was playing while the screen was black, then at a certain point every theme in the music came together, the glorious visuals started up, and I knew I was in for a masterpiece.
