Jimmy Schafer - Soundtrack


I want to give my personal opinion that Jimmy Schafer's new music score really enhanced the film. A lot of times, I turn off the sound on silent films because the music is so inappropriate it's painful to hear in combination with the images. Mr. Schafer, a new composer, found the right balance between the film's more serious tone, and the comedic aspects of the film. In my opinion, the film, at times, was unintentionally funny, but Mr. Schafer did not take advantage of it and camp it up with the use of his music, but kept within bounds. Well done!
