CONTEST QUESTION:
Universal-International had a tremendously-talented team of composers in the 1940s and 1950s, both under contract and ones
used fairly steadily on a free-lance basis. Universal was also the American studio most associated with science fiction, fantasy, and horror films, and almost all of Universal’s
composers contributed music to some of these genre pictures.
The contest question is to provide the name of four sci-fi, fantasy, or horror films (not TV
shows) that four of the composers worked on outside of Universal Studios -- one film per composer. Please note that not all of the composers wrote music for these genres outside of Universal.
Choose four composers from the list below and provide one such film for each composer. You
will not increase your chances of winning if you provide titles for more than four composers, although that will make our respect for you rise dramatically!
Irving Gertz William Lava Henry Mancini Heinz Roemheld
Milt Rosen Hans J. Salter Walter Scharf Frank Skinner Herman Stein
(Nobody even remotely associated with our label
is eligible for this fabulous prize! That includes people who’ve reviewed our CDs and others who have any professional relationship with us whatsoever.)
