And that music is one of the best things about that great movie. I'm talking about the 1951 original, of course, not that terrible remake with Keanu Reeves. When they made that, they completely forgot all about what made the original so good. They just ruined it.

Yes, I agree, Bernard Herrmann was great. He and Miklos Rozsa were the two best, in my humble opinion.
