At the time of its release, much of the film's success was attributed to Dimitri Tiomkin's masterful, Oscar-winning musical score. However, the haunting title song was heard only twice, at the beginning and the end. As was his shameless custom, the ever-self promoting Tiomkin commissioned lyrics for his theme in hopes of winning twin Academy Awards for Best Song and Best Score. While this scheme achieved its desired effect previously with a double win for High Noon (1952), his title song for The High and the Mighty (1954) lost that year's award to another title song - from Three Coins in the Fountain (1954).
