1* The first eight bars of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The first 4 notes of Beethoven's 5th Symphony were appropriated by the Allies as a {{Leitmotif}} throughout the war. It matched the Morse code signal for "V", for Victory.
2* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ7hYEJt2UY main march]]. The vocal version is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff4ci4-tY_0 here]]. The main theme is never played in its entirety until the closing credits; it's only hinted at. The first time is in the officer's club where we first see Richard Burton. Someone is slowly picking it out on the piano.
