Franz Waxman (né Wachsmann; 24 December 1906 – 24 February 1967) was a German and American composer of Jewish descent, known primarily for his work in the film music genre. His film scores include Bride of Frankenstein, Rebecca, Sunset Boulevard, A Place in the Sun, Stalag 17, Rear Window, Peyton Place, The Nun's Story, and Taras Bulba.
Waxman’s score for Rear Window (Paramount, 1954) was actually a brilliant and carefully orchestrated collection of popular songs and melodies designed to provide a backdrop to the action. In addition to the conventional film accompaniment, much of the score is intended to serve as diegetic background music heard in the apartment complex.
