Hang em High and Gilligan's Island


If bored or you like stuff like this compare the theme songs.

Plus there is another more obvious connection.

I bought a bunch of Italian pressings of the Morricone sound tracks back in the day at Footlights in NYC. I don't know if they are still in biz. I think I kept them, though I tossed a lot of soundtracks a while ago. Gilligan's Island was a show I enjoyed during its original run. I haven't gone back. What's the connection?

Morricone won a significant case several years ago, allowing him to terminate his contracts under US law despite the fact that the parties were Italian, and the contract was governed by Italian law.

The skipper Alan Hale is part of the cast of Hang em High.

If you listen to both theme songs you will recognize a melody inherent to both.

Probably not intentional.
