Bonsoir Bambi,

I still not compare film music to clasical score, I may be injust and bias but somehow most are just " pick-up " from the real oeuvre.
Of course, when I think of Hermann´s and all his Hitch´s score and particulary one I am very fond of " The Ghost and Mrs. Muir " with its over romantised leitmotiv, or Rosza´s " Spellbound " The Levi´s, the Newton et cetera....All have made a nice work.
The " farce " like music of Malcom Arnold in Hobson´Choice is more of a tune belonging to the public domain, but very well executed.
Jarre´s did some fine music too. But as i said before i mabe wrong...Mozart would have done some maybe too....
John Mills need a special mention, absolument!
Like Simenon " Le Petit Saint " David´s work in this one is full of optimism. A small film.
But a giant one, like we said.
