Roger Hecht: >Herrmann had something similar happend to him in a film with Truffaut >(sp). There was this scene of a handkerchief (I think) falling slowly to >the ground someplace in Italy. Herrmann wrote exquisite music to accompany >it, but Truffaut demurred, thinking the music too intrusive in sound. He >replaced it with some "harmless" Vivaldi. I think the film in question is The Bride Wore Black and I recall from a documentary the scene Roger mentions. I would like to recall it from the film but I have never had the chance to see it.
