Description
On-screen: Bob sits
Description: Transitional music borrowed from Steiner's score for Lucky Devils (1933); tense and unsure as Bob reads the paper and thinks of crime; changes in mood as he sneaks out of his room and goes to the jewelry store
Analysis: This cue begins with parallel triads, then more dissonant parallel whole-tone chords (0268); the rest of the cue uses the WT2 collection, featuring parallel (026) sonorities and arpeggiated augmented triads
