Is there anyone as great as Bernard Herrmann. Certainly in my estimation the most "underappreciated" composer with such other unforgettables as "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, Fahreheit 451, Vertigo and Marnie.

One of the first "CinemaScope" films released by 20th Century-Fox in late 1953, this featured a brilliant score by Bernard Herrmann (which was partially re-used by Irwin Allen in his unaired 1965 "LOST IN SPACE" pilot, "No Place To Hide").
