Sommario/riassunto

Eight-time Oscar nominee, James Newton Howard is one of Hollywood's most sought-after composers. Though The Sixth Sense is the most famous collaboration of Howard and director M. Night Shyamalan, the film score for Signs is held in much higher esteem. This book provides background information on Howard, discusses some of his most memorable scores, and also emphasizes the working relationship between Howard and his directors, most notably Shyamalan.
