30. Twilight Zone Theme - End Credits (Overture) (Marius Constant - Jerry Goldsmith) 5:55

There are interludes of NOT-Goldsmith music, because they were in the movie.  Track 1's edit matches what you hear in the movie, but with the actual song's ending.

Some of the cartoon music from the "It's a Good Life" are montages assembled by folks from the antique Final Fantasy Shrine Forum.  All credit to whoever they are!

Goldsmith came up with a wide swath of music that perked up this movie born with death on its head.  He made the film much greater than any other composer could have, I say.
