Totally agree this is a great movie, with a fantastic soundtrack.

Major credit due Scott Joplin.

Agreed! We have to give Marvin Hamlisch credit too, for coming up with the idea of using that music. He made Scott Joplin justifiably famous, I wonder if too many people would have been that generous.

I wanted to double check the Hamlisch thing, so I looked it up on Wikipedia, there’s a couple of interesting stories there.

Here’s a link if anyone is interested.
