Well, I believe that is a good indication that Williams was a success in
his venture.  I recall having read that the producer asked Williams to
capture the spirit of the music of those movies.

Many years ago I had a radio program on film music.  On one of my programs
devoted to Williams' music I started off with..."See if you can tell me
what Williams score this is." I then played the opening of King's Row by
Korngold.  Point being, it sounded like Williams.
