Vivian leaves |
| Description: |
We hear a combination of Vivian's theme with Marlowe's "Ear Business" motif as he pulls on his ear after she leaves; this would have been the first time Vivian's theme was heard in the film, but this scene was removed from the final version; in the pre-release version this cue occurs at 1:09:46 |
