Written by John J McLaughlin (Black Swan), book Stephen Rebello.

How did virtual newbie Gervasi get the gig?

They should have used the true story that on hearing Herrmann's score, Hitch doubled his salary (particularly as Hitch had to pay it personally).

Shot by Jeff Cronenweth in Panavision and scored by Danny Elfman. Edited by Pamela Martin (Little Miss Sunshine).

Yes. I rather enjoyed that.

"I told Mrs Bates she could use your dressing room." Shitty screen cap courtesey Flixster, the shittest way to watch a movie.
