    Another memorable version of the song:

    Ferrante & Teicher: Theme from “EXODUS” piano cover (1960) #2 hit

    Plays when Kang Woo-won rips up the contract in Im Ye-eun’s face, complete with parody of the MGM movie outro minus roaring lion.

    NJ Movie Trivia:

    The final resting place of “Leo,” the lion whose roar graced the intros and outros of MGM movies, is in the dorf of Gillette in Long Hill Township (formerly Passaic Township), Morris County. I could have sworn I saw a historical marker with this information on it one day while tooling around near the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. (The Great Swamp is the remnants of glacial Lake Passaic, which formerly covered much of northern New Jersey. It is the headwaters of the Passaic River, and the source of much disastrous flooding downstream as urban and suburban sprawl has sprung up on the floodplain).

    This is such an iconic music.
    I loved this movie so much when I watched it for the first time (I must have been 12 or 13), that when I discovered we had the novel by Leon Uris, I devoured it.

      @eazal,
      I never watched the movie or read the book, but I’ve always loved the music. I was a little squirt when the movie was released, and even then was moved by the epic grandeur of the orchestration, and that immortal melody. That was back in the days when AM radio played an incredible range of popular music that included OSTs from stage and screen that have gone on to become standards.
