Personal Quote:

Rosza never spoke an ungrateful word about the climate for composing in Hollywood, but he "never went near the studio except when it was absolutely necessary". See more »

Trivia:

The "neurotic waltz" theme Rosza composed for "Madame Bovary" (1949) was composed in advance of the film's starting production, an unusual practice in the Hollywood of the late 40s. See more »
