 Jerry Goldsmith (qv)s famous theme for the movie almost didnt  happen. One of the first scenes Goldsmith scored was the scene when  Kirk and Scotty do a flyover of the refit Enterprise.  Robert Wise (I) (qv) liked the music that Goldsmith composed, but  in the end, he rejected it, saying it didnt fit the movie because  it lacked a theme/motif. Goldsmith went back to the drawing board  and composed the famous theme that has become a staple of the Star  Trek universe.
