George looks at some of the silver screen's most successful composers and how they responded to the lure of Hollywood.

In programme two of You Heard It At The Movies, composer George Fenton looks at some of the silver screen's most successful composers and how they responded to the lure of Hollywood. From a steady exodus of European musicians heading to the States in the early days of cinema, to the writers working in the Hollywood studio system today, George gives us a personal insight into the working processes of a film composer.
With illustrations from the cinema greats - as well as some less well-known scores - there's music from Erich Korngold, Miklos Rosza, Aaron Copland, John Williams, Nino Rota and more.
