Alisha --
Wow, well put, and
welcome....
Am I to assume that you are female from your name? No real reason, you'll find there's so few of us around here....and try to ignore Seamonkey -- he's always trying to get the gals into pay-per-view nutella fights....
Nice furthering of the colors here, as well. And I'd be interested too if slade could find that term. I was wondering if your prof had it in mind that Hermann's score was there simply to lead the audience down a merry path, like "over-manipulative" perhaps?
Personally, I think Bernard Hermann was as much responsible for Hitch's successes as Hitch himself was! (and I believe he did leave a lot of the mood up to Hermann's score....)
