score

When the call came about writing the music for Todd Haynes\’ \”Far From Heaven,\” Elmer Bernstein was initially dismissive. \”The film already had a temporary score, and I won\’t look at a film with a temporary score,\” said Bernstein, who has received 13 Academy Award nominations and a 1963 Oscar for \”Thoroughly Modern Millie.\” His agent replied that he might make an exception for this temporary score, because it happened to be Bernstein\’s music from \”To Kill a Mockingbird.\”
