Terry Teachout Says Chinatown’s Score Sounds Better Than Ever - WSJ.com

Saturday, July 11, 2009 2:10:32 PM GMT

Well into the ’40s, it wasn’t uncommon for big-budget Hollywood movies to contain little or no underscoring, and many of today’s directors, following the lead of Martin Scorsese in “GoodFellas,” accompany their films with pop records, not original music. So why bother hiring a high-priced composer and a 50-piece orchestra to crank out a commodity t... (more)

Mr. Louis-Dreyfus, who changed to Swiss nationality in the mid-1990s, belonged to one of France's wealthiest families. His great-grandfather founded the French wheat-trading company Louis Dreyfus in 1851. By the time Mr. Louis-Dreyfus was born, in 1946, the company had grown to encompass ship building and banking.
