The Song of Bernadette (1943) (included on the soundtrack CD, reinstated on the Blu-Ray release).In many cases, these overtures have been cut from TV and video releases and can only be found on 'restored' DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray versions, if at all. Overtures were popular in 1950s and 1960s Hollywood musicals (particularly those of Rodgers and Hammerstein) but have become less common since. This list documents the rise and fall of the Overture/ Roadshow practice over film history. Often, but not necessarily, these films also include an intermission with entr'acte, followed by exit music (after the credits). Not included are films where an overture is used to present the credits, or underscored scenes that are already part of the plot. This is a chronological partial list of films which include a musical overture at the beginning, against a blank screen or still pictures.
