Very reminiscent of Alex North - excellent part writing for the winds (fairly intricate stuff). A lovely scherzo idea, almost at odds with the substance of the main two montages it's used with in the film. I always liked the juxtaposition of such optimistic and lighthearted "spring day" music with the "serious business" going on in the film - when the young fellow succeeds in completing his "gadget", I remember the strange feeling of triumph and horror underscored by this music of unconcerned jollity, which seemed reflective of the protagonists's state of mind and detached from the gravity of his creation. Very effective.
Its a movie I have mixed feelings about, though one dear to my heart. Upon rewatch, it doesnt hold up against classics like "Real Genius"; The undeniable remaining truth of the movie is that the score is timeless and beautiful.
This is such a great soundtrack. It's very distinct and completely original.
