It was fun. There’s more than you imagined to putting music to a film. Lots of examples. What I knew instinctively but never put into words: some of the finest and most precise words-to-music relationships to be found in Tom and Jerry cartoons. Also one of the most amusing scenes in SINGING IN THE RAIN where the actress who has a hopeless voice has to attempt to match her face to the dubbed competent singer: I saw that when it first came out and my father remarked, “Eine Stimme wie eine rostige Gieskanne” (a voice like a rusty watering can).
