A   NOTE  FROM  THE  COMPOSERS

The only specific comment I remember Fred making at the time was 'Unlike my politics, I like the notes at the left side of the piano.' I kept that in mind throughout the show and when I was working on this. I was just starting out as a composer and this was pretty close to what I envisioned working on a gig would be like. There was a real sense of camaraderie and support for what we were doing. Fed simply enjoyed seeing how we would interpret what he wanted and maybe asked for a rewrite or tweak of some cues. But honestly, I remember it was a very open and positive collaboration. Fred and Vic were always supportive of anything we wanted to try, and I really thought all our films would be exactly like this, except with bigger budgets. Well...
