====Dramas and political movies==== [[File:Ennio Morricone Cannes 2012.jpg|Morricone in 2012|thumb|upright=0.68|left]] With Leone's films, Ennio Morricone's name had been put firmly on the map. Most of Morricone's film scores of the 1960s were composed outside the Spaghetti Western genre, while still using Alessandroni's team. Their music included the themes for ''Il Malamondo'' (1964), ''Slalom'' (1965), and ''Listen, Let's Make Love'' (1967). In 1968, Morricone reduced his work outside the movie business and wrote scores for 20 films in the same year. The scores included psychedelic accompaniment for [[Mario Bava]]'s superhero romp ''[[Danger: Diabolik]]'' (1968).<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hunt|first=Leon|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1H1JDwAAQBAJ|title=Danger: Diabolik|date=20 February 2018|publisher=Columbia University Press|isbn=978-0-231-85112-1|language=en}}</ref> Morricone collaborated with [[Marco Bellocchio]] (''[[Fists in the Pocket]]'', 1965), [[Gillo Pontecorvo]] (''[[The Battle of Algiers]]'' (1966), and ''[[Burn! (1969 film)|Queimada!]]'' (1969) with [[Marlon Brando]]), [[Roberto Faenza]] (H2S, 1968), Giuliano Montaldo (''[[Sacco e Vanzetti (1971 film)|Sacco e Vanzetti]]'', 1971), [[Giuseppe Patroni Griffi]] (''[['Tis Pity She's a Whore (film)|'Tis Pity She's a Whore]]'', 1971), Mauro Bolognini (''[[Drama of the Rich]]'', 1974), [[Umberto Lenzi]] (''[[Almost Human (1974 film)|Almost Human]]'', 1974), [[Pier Paolo Pasolini]] (''[[SalΓ², or the 120 Days of Sodom]]'', 1975), Bernardo Bertolucci (''[[1900 (film)|Novecento]]'', 1976), and [[Tinto Brass]] (''[[The Key (1983 film)|The Key]]'', 1983 and ''[[Senso '45]]'', 2002).<ref name="Leinberger" />{{rp|115β116}} In 1970, Morricone wrote the score for ''Violent City''. That same year, he received his first {{Lang|it|[[Nastro d'Argento]]|italic=no}} for the music in ''[[Metti una sera a cena]]'' ([[Giuseppe Patroni Griffi]], 1969) and his second only a year later for ''[[Sacco e Vanzetti (1971 film)|Sacco e Vanzetti]]'' (Giuliano Montaldo, 1971), in which he collaborated with the legendary American folk singer and activist [[Joan Baez]]. His soundtrack for ''Sacco e Vanzetti'' contains another well-known composition by Morricone, the folk song "[[Here's to You (song)|Here's to You]]", sung by Baez. For the writing of the lyrics, Baez was inspired by a letter from Bartolomeo Vanzetti: ''"Father, yes, I am a prisoner / Fear not to relay my crime"''. The song was later included in movies such as ''[[The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou]]''.<ref>[http://musicbrainz.org/release/29d93150-709d-4aaa-8b16-0b3b0913885d The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Soundtrack Tracklist]. Retrieved on 23 January 2013.</ref><!-- and in the video game ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' as the closing theme as well as ''[[Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes]]''.{{Citation needed|date=July 2020}} --> <!-- In the beginning of the 1970s, Morricone achieved success with other singles, including ''[[A Fistful of Dynamite]]'' (1971) and ''God With Us'' (1974), having sold respectively 477,000 and 378,000 copies in France only. Between 1967 and 1993 the composer had a long-term collaboration with director Mauro Bolognini. Morricone wrote more than 15 film scores for Bolognini, including ''[[Le streghe]]'' (1966), ''[[L'assoluto naturale]]'' (1969), ''[[Un bellissimo novembre]]'' (1969), ''[[Metello]]'' (1970), ''[[Chronicle of a Homicide]]'' (1972), ''[[Libera, My Love]]'' (1973), ''[[Per le antiche scale]]'' (1975), ''[[The Lady of the Camellias (1981 film)|La Dame aux camelias]]'' (1980), ''[[Mosca addio]]'' (1987), ''[[Gli indifferenti]]'' (1988), and ''[[Husband and Lovers]]'' (1992).{{Citation needed|date=July 2020}} -->
