"By 9.45 that evening, with only the last sequence to record, Herrmann was too exhausted to continue. At Herrmann’s request, Laurie Johnson conducted the long cue.
A surprise but welcome visitor at the session was Genevieve Bujold. Recalled Gerhardt: “As she spoke to Benny in a heavy French accent I could tell he was about to get the hanky out. She told him of all the trouble she’d had with Cliff Robertson because he spent all his time in makeup and didn’t make their love scenes meaningful.
She said, “Mr. Herrmann, he wouldn’t make love to me – but you made love to me with your music.” And Benny started to cry. He would tell that story over and over at dinner, and start crying again every time."
