I thought it had faint strains of Superman The Movie, particularly when Parris (shown only from the legs) walks offscreen as a boy and walks back onscreen as a man. Perhaps John Williams was influenced by this film (as well as whoever put together the Superman first appearance in the Fortress scene).
shareYou got it. Korngold influenced Williams... a lot.
Kisskiss, Bangbang
In another thread a viewer accused John Williams of ripping off Erick Korngold. I replied that he was right in hearing bits of this theme in the theme for "Superman, the Movie," and again in "Star Wars: A New Hope," but he was wrong in characterizing it as a "rip off." Many composers have 'sampled' snippets of other works in their own compositions. I used the example of Antonin Dvorak sampling bits of Ludwig Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" in Dvorak's own "Ninth Symphony," also known as "New World Symphony" or "From the New World."
The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank.
