The score
The score in this film is so loud and oppressive. It REALLY detracts from the movie imo.
"I'll book you. I'll book you on something. I'll find something in the book to book you on."
I'm watching this for the first time and I kinda agree.
Also, there's one theme that is a direct ripoff of "Younger than Springtime." Other small sections are "Bernard Herrmanish."
Just watched this straight through for my first time, and I agree with both of those references. And those two themes were probably the best parts of the score. The big main theme was all right at first, but I began to squirm after the next forty or fifty repeats.
