[on the music for "Nowhere To Go"]: It was a very early jazz score, and I think it must have been the first English one. It's my favorite score and I love it. I was given a free hand on that, thank goodness. We didn't have the usual composer in, with the lengths of film. I just sat the musicians down to play a piece and I gave them a brief that I wanted it to be cool yet dirty, and that it should have a kind of mocking quality about it. They did it beautifully. The musicians weren't bothered with where it had to go. I used it as a piece of editing and this seems to me a more satisfactory way of working than the traditional way of getting the composer to write stretches of music for specific scenes. I don't think you get the ironies right that way.
