In a way since "One More Hour" is the last song we hear in the film, it still sort of is.Īfter the credits conclude, the O in director Milos Forman's name literally zooms in to reveal a black Harlem man accompanying a newsreel on film. Interestingly, this tune was conceived originally for the end credits. One thing that bears note, however, is that the first twelve notes played by piano only are exclusive to the film and not on the album. This melody is also used for the ending song of the picture, "One More Hour." In the film it's mostly used intact, save for the closing coda, which is dialed out. This gorgeous, melancholy tune begins with a soulful violin/piano duet before transitioning into a very nice delivery by the orchestra. I'll try to do comparisons/reflections on each track of the album with each post. I thought this thread would be a great way to discuss this underrated and forgotten score. There's a lot of really good stiff Newman wrote that is either used in the film partially or not at all. I was honestly surprised at how much of the score on the album is unused in the finished film. I didn't see the film until I was much older. I've listened to that LP continuously, every note of the songs still stuck in my head even to this day. Randy Newman's Oscar-nominated score for Ragtime, released WAAAY back in 1981 directed by Milos Forman, has been one of my favorite scores to listen to ever since I was a kid.
