This is not a classical piece, but one ruined bit of music
for me is "Have yourself a merry little Christmas". I keep
thinking about the scene in "The Victors" (does anyone else
remember that movie) where a soldier who ran in battle is
exectuted (shot) to that tune.

I've always thought og that as one of the BEST uses of music in a movie I've ever seen. Two things to remember, the incident portrayed was a true one, and that song was (I think) a big hit that Xmas (1945?). It has always made "The Victors", to me at least, one of the greatest anti-war movies ever made. Oh well, we are all allowed our own opinion. BTW, if you really want to talk about "ruined music", how about "Singing in the Rain" in "A Clockwork Orange"? *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
