Hey, I just learned Latin! And from a single thread too.

Just shows you: from a single thread can come a whole cloth. smile


Ok, so is it "Ars pecuniae gratis" or "Ars gratia pecuniae"?

wink

I read that there's similar debate over whether "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo" is an incorrect use of the language. Some scholars say that to make grammatical sense, it should be written as "Eeny Mo Meeny Miny".

In addition to Waxman's fanfare, there was David Snell's agitato emblem which can be heard on many of the series films such as DR. KILDARE.

I think this is a non film music discussion thread.

Interesting tidbit if it is indeed wrong all these yrs.

The function such slogans serve is poetic, and not mere prose. Note that the legend appears as an element of graphic art, for pete's sake. As such, its construction falls under the grace of poetic license. So all yous grammar pedants are silly. Et hoc tuie.

The earliest film I remember the Waxman fanfare is on his score to FURY (1936).

Art, for pete's sake? Or for the love of pete...either would be a good translation for this thread.wink

I thought the thread would be about the MGM music logo. I'm partial to the tuxedo'd lion (which I thought was a mouse when I was a child).

I always chuckled over a comedic paraphrase of the MGM moto that I believe was in a MAD Magazine spoof--ARS GRATIA PECUNIAE. ("Art For Money's Sake.")
