Mother, Mother from "Death of a Scoundrel"

composed by Max Steiner

This music is from one of my all time favorite films. It's definitely very "Hollywoodized" (everyone gets their just deserts in the end) but George Sanders performance (and deliciously deep voice) grab your attention as do the performances by Zsa Zsa Gabor and Yvonne De Carlo. As you listen to the eastern european strains in the music you can almost hear the Czech Clementi Sabourin (played by Sanders) begging for his mother's forgiveness for his transgressions including the death of his brother.
