Unforgettable Movie Soundtracks

Of course, in the case of musicals, the songs are the experience. The music in The Sound of Music and West Side Story tells the story with each song moving the narrative along. Sometimes, the actor or actress isn’t up to the task of singing and a singer dubs their parts. Natalie Wood in West Side Story and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady were both dubbed. Film music is used to evoke certain emotions, such as sadness, tension, fear, romance or excitement. The sounds are carefully chosen for the effect as the wrong selection can completely alter a scene. Everyone knew something unpleasant was coming when the violins started to screech in an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
