The Happening is the soundtrack[1] for the 1967 comedy film The Happening, released by Columbia Pictures. The soundtrack and film score were produced by Frank De Vol.
The title song 'The Happening' and 'All I Know About You' were co-written by De Vol in conjunction with Motown composers Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland. Released concurrently with the film, 'The Happening' reached #1 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart in May of that year, becoming The Supremes' tenth American chart-topper. The single was not included in this soundtrack LP, due to contractual licensing restrictions, but in The Supremes' greatest hits compilations. Its flip side 'All I Know About You' was finally included in 1989 as a bonus track in the CD re-issue of the trio's 1968 album 'Reflections'.
The song 'The Fuzz' has had a rather unlikely extended life, becoming the theme music for the Brazilian television news program Jornal Nacional in 1969. Although it no longer uses the exact song today, Jornal Nacional continues to use 'The Fuzz' as a signature for its current theme.

The Happening is a 1967 American crime comedy film directed by Elliot Silverstein, and starring Anthony Quinn, Michael Parks, George Maharis, Robert Walker Jr., Martha Hyer and Faye Dunaway. It tells the story of four hippies, who kidnap a retired Mafia mob boss, holding him for ransom.
The film is an anti-establishment story that questions the values of Middle America and the older generation.[citation needed]
Plot[edit]
Four bored beach bums from Miami come across kids playing with toy guns. They chase one of them into a house, which, by chance, belongs to one Roc Delmonico, a former gangster who is now retired from organized crime and has become a respectable businessman.
Delmonico assumes it to be a kidnapping and volunteers to go quietly. The hippies like the idea, particularly their leader, Taurus, a gigolo who lives off rich ladies. He and his accomplices, Sureshot, Herby and Sandy, drive off with Delmonico in the trunk of their car. They hide out and demand a ransom of $200,000.
No one, unfortunately, will pay the ransom—not Delmonico's unhappy wife, Monica, or his business partner, Fred, or even Sam, his old mob boss. The frustrated crooks decide that it is hopeless, but Delmonico is so offended that he personally takes charge of his own kidnapping. He raises the demand to $3 million, vowing to reveal secrets that will ruin Monica, Fred and Sam.

The money is paid, whereupon the greedy Taurus suggests to Delmonico that they kill the others, leaving a two-way split. However, Delmonico knows not only that the boy cannot be trusted, but also that the bank has marked the bills from the ransom and that the police will trace them. Delmonico sets fire to the money and walks away. When asked what he will do now, Delmonico responds, without looking back, 'Who knows?'
Soundtrack[edit]
Only a minor success as a film, The Happening is most notable today both as one of Faye Dunaway's earliest films and for its self-titled theme song. Recorded by The Supremes, 'The Happening' became a Number One hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when released as a single on the Motown label.
Another music piece, 'The Fuzz', was used by several local area TV news programs in the United States and Canada in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a rearrangement of the same composition is still used by Brazil's Rede Globo national newscast Jornal Nacional, and Televisa in Mexico for national newcast 24 Horas.
