Auld Lang Syne Waterloo Bridge (1940)

Looking for some style to ring in the New Year No, not Gangnam Style, it s B W style from the 40 s. Waterloo Bridge, a captivating black and white film classic starring Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor, is a 1940 remake of the 1931 original. The 1940 version was a box office success. It was nominated for two Academy Awards Best Music and Best Cinematography. The movie tells the story of a ballerina (Myra) and an officer (Roy) who met on Waterloo Bridge during an air raid. Roy departed for the war shortly after he and Myra became lovers. Myra, after mistakenly believing that Roy had been killed, descended into prostitution. She eventually committed suicide in order not to get Roy involved in a scandal. This version of Auld Lang Syne is not the original score. I do not know who the singer is but the lyrics are Sam Cooke s Bring It On Home To Me. Video made by: fkwk101 (Yukon Audiovisual Workshop).
