Trivia: NEIL CONNERY was not even closely successful in films when compared to his brother Sean. After Neil appeared in 1970's The Body Stealers, he retired from film, and became a full-time plasterer. Wise move.

Born in 1928, prolific Italian composer ENNIO MORRICONE has made many movies memorable just by the atmosphere created by his haunting scores, some of which were for: 1964-A Fistful of Dollars (with Clint Eastwood; directed by Sergio Leone); 1965-For A Few Dollars More (Eastwood/Leone again); 1966-The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Eastwood/Leone again); 1968-Once Upon a Time in the West (again Leone); 1013-DANGER: DIABOLIK (directed by Mario Bava); 1970-Two Mules for Sister Sara (with Eastwood and Shirley MacLaine); 1977-Exorcist II--The Heretic; 1978-La Cage aux Folles (and both sequels); 1984-Once Upon a Time in America (again Leone); 1986-The Mission (Oscar nomination); 1987-The Untouchables (Oscar nomination; with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery); 1988-Frantic (with Harrison Ford); and 1991-Bugsy (Oscar nomination; with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening); 1994-Love Affair (Beatty/Bening again); and Wolf (with Jack Nicholson).
