Steiner uses the chase theme from Most Dangerous Game (1932) in a montage depicting Philip's escape from prison; the music is fast and exciting, with a galloping rhythm as we see a speeding train; the music fades in, indicating that the earlier recording was used and brought in so that the cue would end at the right time; onscreen we see shots of Paris, traveling, London, and wanted posters
On-screen:
Philip escapes from prison
Analysis:
This cue begins with galloping rhythms in eb minor and f minor, then introduces a melodic gesture using the whole-tone 2 collection; the ending is harmonically less stable, interrupted by a fog horn in the soundtrack
