We watched the 2019 Max Steiner documentary aired on TCM. It was fairly interesting, if long and hagiographic. But its biggest flaw was not focusing more on the music he and his world-class music departments created

Instead we got snippets of Michael Feinstein playing piano themes and the BYU orchestra re-creating brief orchestral excerpts. Licensing issues, perhaps? It would have been much better with extended excerpts of the *real* music

The only time I’ve heard the lyrics to “It Can’t Be Wrong” from NOW VOYAGER is in the Porky Pig wartime vehicle “Swooner Crooner”

also used “La Marseillaise” and Haydn’s “Gott erhalte Franz der Kaiser” - Austrian imperial anthem before it became “Das Deutschlandlied”

Having “Hurry Music” on my iPhone would be super helpful

IIRC at the ending of DARK VICTORY, @_BetteDavis@twitter.com was quoted, “Either Max Steiner is going up those stairs, or I am, but we are NOT going up together.”
(They went up together.)
