When he was asked to do the score for Genevieve his agent asked for 750 pounds but was told the studio couldn't afford that much and instead offered him 2.5% of the profits. The agent tried to convince him to decline saying this film was intended to be a 'quota' film which would probably never make back its cost in takings. He decided to take the chance having liked what he had seen of the work thus far and as a result, within four weeks it made back the costs and he found himself able to pay to send his children through college with the money he made from the movie.Quotes
[on his self-imposed exile] England has a sense of justice and fair play that I hope will one day become prevalent in America, as well. Old friends tell me things have changed in America, but I am afraid they will have to change a good deal more before I decide to return.
