With the dramatic, adventurous score of Three Musketeers, the soulful, tragic and romantic soundtrack for Wuthering Heights, and the beautiful love story of Gable and Lombard, Legrand's music was reminder of how important music is to a movie since it has such a powerful ability to guide one's feelings and reactions.
