BTW, both of your amazon links here are taking me to the same Canadian url, i.e., not USA pricing. Thanks!

I’m not sure whether I’d appreciate such a large chunk dedicated to “Casablanca” because this isn’t one of my favourite films, however if the discussions require musical training, then it sounds as though it would interest me and probably justifies the purchase.

I love Steiner’s score for GWTW and cannot imagine this film without this music. That powerful scene, “I’ll never be hungry again”, which ends the first half, is particularly powerful and never mawkish.
