Soundtrack Great; Movie Not So Much

Good book, blah movie, best soundtrack. Bernard Herrmann's one of my favorite movie composers, and I think this all-strings score is even better than his best for Hitchcock. I haven't seen the movie in years, although I've thought I should maybe give it another chance. But I listen often to the soundtrack, which I have on vinyl, as it moves between lush, romantic passages and insistent thrusts. Needs a better movie.
