Personal Quote:

Rosza considered his score for Spellbound (1945) one of his best, but "Alfred Hitchcock didn't like the music - said it got in the way of his direction. I never saw him since." See more »

Trivia:

The Dragnet "dum de dum dum" theme was previously used by Rozsa in his score for "The Killers" (1946). It can be prominently found in the resturant shootout scene toward the end of the film. See more »
