Hitchcock and Herrmann in 1955
Biography
Bernard Herrmann, born Max Herman, was a composer who is generally regarded today as one of the greatest of all film composers.
Herrmann is most closely associated with the director Alfred Hitchcock and worked on every Hitchcock film from The Trouble with Harry (1955) to Marnie (1964), including Vertigo (1958) and North by Northwest (1959). Herrmann's relationship with Hitchcock came to an end when they disagreed over the score for Torn Curtain (1966).
