You know, a lot of this really is an unsung song about musical genius. Here's a small tale of Mr. Greig McRitchie, born on September 28, 1914. His first major work as composer and conductor was on this 1962 film, "This Is Not A Test," then it seems the man needed to take some time off, maybe doing that first movie was a real son of a gun, but he doesn't have any more credits until 1974. From then on he worked on an amazing array of films that is way beyond imagination as orchestrator & composer. "Conan", "Krull", "Off Beat", "Aliens", "Project X" and the list goes on and on til it ends with "Starship Troopers" in 1997. I'd say Mr. McRitchie passed this test just fine!
