I think it was used really well. It also helped that I have always (since childhood) found Grieg's composition awfully creepy.

A leitmotif is used to associate a single character with a reccuring musical theme, in this case, Lorre and the whistling of "Hall of the Mountain King". This was one of the first movies to use it.

I happened to be searching FW for some movie ratings and stumbled across some of my early reviews -- they actually had some meat to them. Guess I was trying to impress the other posters back then. Anyway, you make me want to rewatch this. I'm glad I bought the DVD for my 2006 Resolutions. This means I can, but who knows how soon :-/ Your review is superb — I wish I was eloquent and… stuff.

If Humph was here, I'm sure he could shed some light on it. Was it that Lorre wasn't offered the roles, or that he declined them for supporting ones, I wonder... Yeah, it is kind of amazing.

I'd imagine he had his choice of roles throughout his career. Just a testament to how often the supporting role is meatier than that of the lead, you think?
