Description
On-screen: Main title and cast list
Description: The opening title music was composed by Roy Webb (borrowed from the 1930 films Shooting Straight and Conspiracy); on-screen we see a stormy night, with lightning flashes in an outdoor scene; the music fades out to the sound of newspaper presses
Analysis: This stormy music uses lots of string tremolos and chromatic parallelism
