It elevates and underlines the narrative and adds a new and greater dimension to each storyline. The composer interviews within this book are an insight into the workings of various Maestro's who were involved with this quirky and innovative genre of films. The interviews were conducted over a period of twenty five years. As most of the composers are now sadly deceased it is a valuable and interesting look at how the music worked and the way in which each composer approached the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposers interviewed include.
