Programme Note
The 1949 Warner Brothers film Night unto Night has the look of a film noir although it is psychological thriller. Waxman’s Dusk: A Setting for Orchestra from this score is serene and reflective; not at all what you would expect after reading the script.
A dying microbiologist who suffers from epilepsy (Ronald Reagan) falls in love with a mentally disturbed widow (Viveca Lindfors) hallucinating about the ghost of her dead husband. Rosemary de Camp, Broderick Crawford, and Craig Stevens are the supporting cast that Don Siegel directed from a screenplay based on Philip Wylie’s novel.
