Program Notes

The 1949 Warner Brothers film Night Unto Night has the look of a Film Noir although it is psychological thriller. Waxman’s Dusk: A Setting For Orchestra from this score is serene and reflective; not at all what you would expect after reading the script.

A dying micro-biologist who suffers from epilepsy (Ronald Reagan) falls in love with a mentally disturbed widow (Viveca Lindfors) hallucinating about the ghost of her dead husband. Rosemary de Camp, Broderick Crawford and Craig Stevens are the supporting cast that Don Siegel directed from a screenplay based on Philip Wylie’s novel.
