The RAC Man

The use of things like the cadenzas is beautifully done. The two most climactic moments in their relationship where they speak to each other have no music behind them at all. And I think it's because the use of the music does tread a very, very narrow line between too much romanticism and a kind of papering over the cracks of their moral decisions. It has a wisfulness running through it. So there's never a sense of an absolute completion and absolute happiness. Of course that's the point of the story, is that if they are to be honourable they cannot be happy together. That was one of the things that made the film such a big success.
