RIP Monty Norman

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Mon Jul 11, 2022 10:39 pm

Film composer best known for the iconic James Bond 007 theme first used in Dr. No. Norman composed the score for Dr. No, but John Barry (who would go on to compose several other Bond scores) later rearranged parts of the theme and tried to take credit for it in later years. Norman brought several successful lawsuits against various publications claiming Barry was the composer, and he received substantial royalties for its use in subsequent Bond films.

Age 94
