Description
On-screen: Marie speaks with her mother
Description: Yearning strings play a romantic theme (written by Roemheld) after Marie turns off the radio (so it is not source music)
Analysis: This brief cue suggests multiple third-related keys (Db, F, E, Ab, and C), communicating romantic yearning; its final cadence is disturbed by an added dissonance (I-addb6)
