After seeing the Hitler doc posted earlier, I decided to watch one I perceived would be more accurate and favorable.
Unfortunately, the moment I started watching The Greatest Story Never Told, I was hit by the wildly inappropriate introductory music, a strings arrangement of “Unchained Melody,” a song made popular by The Righteous Brothers. It was such a bizarre choice.
The lyrics of Unchained Melody are clearly romantic. Then I researched the song, itself, and it was written for a film called Unchained, directed the communist Hall Bartlett, which was a weird “progressive” film based on a book Prisoners are People written by prison “reformer” Kenyon Scudder.
Meanwhile, the “melody” itself was composed and lyrics added by (((Alex North))) and (((Hy Zaret))).
So, a documentary about Hitler starts off with a crappy love song written by a couple of jews for a left wing prison movie made by a communist?
What the hell is going on, here?
