 The crucial cantata for the Albert Hall sequence was composed  specifically for the film by Arthur Benjamin (I) (qv), and the  same piece was used again in the 1956 remake. When  Alfred Hitchcock (I) (qv) remade the movie, he offered composer  Bernard Herrmann (qv) the opportunity to compose a new work for  the scene, but Herrmann chose not to, citing an appreciation of  Benjamins original cantata.
