Description
On-screen: Title of the film
Description: The main theme is called "Finishing School" by Roy Webb (perhaps intended for the 1934 RKO picture Finishing School, although it does not actually appear in that film); this music continues as we see video snapshots of the players in the film
Analysis: This pleasant tune has a parallel double period construction (a b a b') and features some mild mode mixture and other chromatic alterations
