Richard Addinsell
Scored numerous British historical and period films and won international recognition for his popular "Warsaw Concerto" from the 1940 film, "Dangerous Moonlight/Suicide Squadron." After writing incidental music for the stage, Addinsell first went to Hollywood in the early 1930s and returned to England to become a mainstay of the British film industry from the late 1930s to the mid-1960s, writing the music for such period films as "Goodbye Mr. Chips" (1939), "Gaslight" (1940), "A Christmas Carol" (1951), "The Prince and the Showgirl" (1957) and "A Tale of Two Cities" (1958) as well as the more contemporary, "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" (1961) and "Life at the Top" (1965).
