Vivian enters the apartment building |
| Description: |
Rapid arpeggiations accompany Vivian as she enters the apartment; Steiner uses the same music for a similar situation earlier in the film with Carmen; in both cases, Marlowe watches a woman that arrives in a car and enters a house; the latter part of this cue is extended with additional arpeggiations |
