So I was up until early Sunday morning with insomnia and I watched an old Cary Grant movie called The Talk of the Town. Cute movie if you are into older movies btw. Anywho, they kept playing a piece of music in it that kept reminding me of Star Wars.
You decide if I'm nuts or if there's a similarity

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3nXQpOEx_nM(yes I know it's a joke but it's the only clip of that song I could find) go to 34 seconds in and start listening. IMO there's a common theme that John Williams obviously changed a bit and added on to for Star Wars.
This isn't a knock on John Williams at all. It's a common practice and the piece in the first movie may very well have been from something else. I just thought it was kind of neat to spot it.
