David Raksin

You have just heard Night, a new play by Arch Oboler.

The original musical score was composed and conducted by David Raksin

Arch Oboler's Plays on Tuned to Yesterday from the 7th of June, 1945 on the Mutual Broadcasting System.

That year, writing-wise, turned out to be a busy one for Arch Oboler, who worked on the Victory Chest program and, of course, the weekly show Arch Oboler's Plays, along with an interesting broadcast called the AFRA Refresher Course Workshop of the Year.

The next classic is probably one of the most haunting melodies ever written.

And it was written for the movies without words by David Raksin.

The movie is Laura with Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney, and a very haunting theme in the movie.

And when the movie came out, the music was so moving and so haunting that there was a popular acclaim, "Let's make this a song," and people deluged the studios with letters.

S- David Raksin has tried a couple of ideas, but he really knew underneath that the man to write the lyrics for Laura would be Johnny Mercer.

And indeed, Johnny Mercer got right to it.

He never watched the movie, yet he captured the theme of the movie and the theme of the song beautifully.

That was Laura, but she's only a dream.

Um, I love...

And I studied with David Raksin.

He's the only...

And I only took one class in film music taught by David Raksin, who did the music for Laura, Forever Amber, and, uh, The Bad and the Beautiful.

Uh, I love, uh, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's music.

I do.
