    can't place exactly which Mozart work it is. Anyone happen to know the title and K number?

    It's not in the soundtrack album, and I looked through "Vertigo" and film-database websites for about an hour yesterday, still not finding any leads on this. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Somewhat related question: how about the large choral work that is played in the Royal Albert Hall near the end of the 1934 "The Man Who Knew Too Much?" It sounds superficially like Walton in style.

    the theme for the vaudeville performer who answers ALL questions the
