A few years later, Getz’s horn could be heard in European films while he was abroad and then in American films upon his return to the U.S. in 1960. ** From the 1960s until his death in 1991, Getz was heard regularly on TV shows such as _Ironside_ and _The Courtship of Eddie’s Father_ as well as in American and European movies.
