I went out to the theater last night to finally check out Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”. The movie features an all-star cast as Leonardo DiCaprio plays actor Rick Dalton, Brad Pitt plays Rick’s stuntman Cliff Booth and Margot Robbie who pays Sharon Tate. The 90 Million dollar budget film even had Dakota Fanning, Kurt Russell and Al Pacino as supporting actors in the film. Unlike Quentin’s other films this one was more of a drama story with a finale action scene at the end.
The film takes places in 1969 during Hollywood’s Golden Age in Los Angeles and features a bunch of music and even commercials from that era throughout the film. The music supervisor of the film is Mary Ramos who has worked with Quentin exclusively over his past few films and even goes back as far as Pulp Fiction where she was a music coordinator.
The following music cues are in order played in the film.
The Film starts off with “Roy Head- Treat Her Right”
Some score was used in the film as well including “Bernard Herrmann- The Rocks”
