Miklos Rozsa - The Killers: Prelude download song

You may be right. I read once that the theme used for both was written before the movie and before the 1949 radio show, but I do not remember exactly where. It was in a history of film music book, I think. Still, the dates you gave make it seem like my source was wrong. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Nicholas Dodd (Conductor of films such as STARGATE, INDEPENDENCE DAY, CASINO ROYALE w/ David Arnold, composer) should re-do / record this theme.

No - the dragnet theme came first. Rosza unknowingly used it in this film which caused a lawsuit. Rosza never needed to steal ideas as he was a melodic genius, but simple themes often find their way into different pieces of music without being outright violations of copyright.

rozsa steal music ideas from the others!!!!!veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy strange.many and many stole music ideas from him .for example in my country they put his music in many movies withoiut mention his name.he was very talented gentle men.

I am playing this with my youth orchestra

The Dragnet theme was derived from this - just listen to the first few notes

Being no expert on this particular case, I do believe it´s the other way around. The Killers came in 1946 and Dragnet in 1951.
