Shelly leaves Trev in fear |
| Description: |
As Shelly flees from Trev in fear, we hear swirling strings and frantic climbing gestures; this swirling theme is borrowed from Crime School (1938) where it was used for searchlights; it was also re-used in White Heat (1949), where the fanfare-like rhythms were added; there is a brass stinger as Shelly slams the door |
