Here is the man himself, Anton Karas, playing the music from the movie on the Zither. The recording isn't the greatest, it looks like it was captured right off a TV but if you can get by the lo tech of the 50's you will enjoy it immensely.

The greatest B/W movie is not on your list. I'll give you a few hints to its identity;

It's in Japanese with English subtitles.

It's over 3 hours long.

Most people have never heard of it, much less seen it.

A color remake was made in Hollywood in 1960 with some of the biggest male stars of the decade Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson Eli Wallach Robert Vaughn and James Coburn

It bombed at the box office.

Another color remake has been made in 2016, the (Diversity at all cost era) with a black dude, Denzel Washington in the lead role and I predict it will bomb as well.

How far can an industry stray from historical facts and remain believable and relevant?

I enjoyed it much when a child.

GUZMAN1: A Night at the Opera is also an album by Queen, took its name from the Marx Brothers film.

Surely they liked old B/N movies.


I'm sure they did. Who couldn't find Groucho Marx hilarious? laugh

I don't think I saw that one. With Oscar Wilde as a writer, it has to be good! :)
