Great. I do suggest you link her to this thread. Where Raksin is concerned, she's a kindred spirit.

Somebody needs to explain me these nutmeg references. I'm not 22 years old anymore and don't know all the cool words anymore. :0)

Don't worry, DavidinBerkeley, - these words have no origins with young ages.
Terms such as 'nutmeg' & 'numbskull' & their ilk have been generated by Graham Watt (FSM's Scotsman displaced into Spain) whenever Watt contributed to threads such as top favorite composer X soundtracks and the like.
Graham would pontificate in a Top 5 Friedhofer thread by stating things such as "buy Above and Beyond or get One Eyed Jacks or forever be a ... (fill-in-the-blank)" - meaning a person with poor musical taste, hence the term like 'nincompoop'.

In the usual, fanboy desperate attempt to be a part of filmusic history,  here is a list of cues, and those I believe are decidedly Raksin:
DR RENAULT'S SECRET
Main Title and Taxi Ride - Raksin
Source: accordion music - ?
Room Number 11 - Raksin
Arriving at the Chateau - ?
Noel Brings Shoes - Raksin after door opens
Sneaking Around and In the Library - Raksin until light goes on, then again after "..unleash the dog"
I Remember Good Things - all Raksin I think
Guillotined for Murder? - not Raksin: that flute theme is too repetitive to be his work
Source: Merry Go Round Dances - ?
Back to the Basement, The Diary, The Fight, The Chase - Raksin (11 minutes worth!)

RENAULT'S is a great recommendation, Graham. I really enjoyed what he wrote for it.
Thank you for telling us about it.

You're welcome, David. Why am I replying so late? Because on trawling (trolling?) old threads, I have just come across this one, the conclusion to which I missed due to having been in the middle of the Scottish mountains for much of August, and to the Board's idiosincracy of not allowing us to go back more than ten days, or something.
That "Raksin/ not Raksin" list you made, David, has made me set off on a new quest. I can't recall the cues offhand (it was all too recent in my life - ask me what I saw on the telly in 1974 instead), but I may have to have another go at cracking Doctor Raksin's secret. Maybe Emil Newman ("Emil" is almost "Igor", or "Ygor" in Transylvanian) did the dirty work. Still sounds pure Raksin all the way through to me, or it did in the summer - which seems now about a billion years ago.
Despite the nonsense I have just written, it'll be nice to see this thread at the top again, for old people who missed it.

I started a list for THE MONSTER WITHIN, but left off when I saw the thread had died. Maybe I'll finish it now.
