SPOILERS
This video contains many of important scenes in the film including the ending. This is Bernard Herrmann's Prelude score for the film "A Hat Full of Rain." Foreign Correspondent (1940) is a brilliant film with so many ideas. Unfortunately, the music is only around 1:52 minutes. So I tried to use ideas as much as I can. I hope you all will like it.
I love Herrmann's music and have all his scores (literally), not yet the Alfred Hitchcock Hour set. But sometimes his sequences can really annoy one! This is especially evident in his TV scores for TWILIGHT ZONE. Often his sequences hit the mark (the ostinato figure in PSYCHO and a similar figure in NBNW, not to mention the sublime VERTIGO (but there the sequential writing is varied by gorgeous orchestration even by Herrmann's standards).

The cutting against Herrmann's music is telling and beautifully done
