One of the great composers of Hollywood's Golden Age is Hungarian-born Miklos Rozsa. On this week's Flicks in Five, we'll hear the 'Love Theme' from Rosza's score for 'The Lost Weekend'.

He considered film music to be 'operas without words' and his movie scores earned three Oscar nominations -- including one win for best original score. This week on Flicks in Five, Lynne Warfel discusses Erich Wolfgang Korngold and shares music from his soundtrack to 'The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.'
