This afternoon, I watched "Eye of the Needle" with Donald Sutherland and Kate Nelligan. Almost as soon as the film began, I knew the composer of the soundtrack: Miklos Rosza. In my shop, I have Turner Classic Movies playing all day and in the past ten years or so, I have "guessed" the composer was Miklos Rosza at least 50-75 times...and I've NEVER been wrong. How? Simple. Every soundtrack he ever composed sounds like Ben Hur...every one. I've often wondered how he was able to sustain such a lengthly career composing "the same" music every time.
