About the composer
The prolific and inventive composer and pianist Richard Addinsell provided scores for memorable British and American films from the 1930s to the early 1960s, including Fire over England (1937), Goodbye Mr Chips (1939), Gaslight (1940), Blithe Spirit (1945) and The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) and of course, Scrooge (1951). His 'Warsaw' concerto, composed for the film Dangerous Moonlight (1940), was a sensational international success. (source - National Portrait Gallery)
