This Music Leonard Rosenman has gained no more glorious chapter to his illustrious work, because what he still managed largely at the congenial music for "Lord of the Rings", no longer comes here on his winged Swashbuckler issue can not be in his usual Orchesteridiom - masterfully trained in mountain and Schoenberg - integrate. It is to dance on the dance floor to a tangled Fixierspiel with musical levels. And none of it satisfied properly. But the comedic side ("Chekov's Run"; "Hospital Chase") can convince that entertain two pop songs. But the overall impression is stale, remembering Rosenmansche TV routine to open lying. How the score was advised on the list of Academy Award nominations, remains one of the unsolved mysteries of Oscar history. But quality has always played in nominations / awards second fiddle.
