Tune not listed in, or on any soundtracks


What was the instrumental playing in the back round in Otter's room while he and Mrs Wormer are gettin busy. I went through the soundtrack page here and all available on the www. It's a somewhat famous instrumental that wasn't written exclusively for this film. Anyone?

Isn't that when they play "Theme From a Summer Place" Percy Faith?


. Ephemeron.

A Summer Place is played throughout the segment, but what I'm referring to is actually an inter-scene that coincides with it. Otter's "pad" has a more seductive music playing.
Just found a link. Check it at the 38 sec mark -

The question has been posted before. The consensus is that it was just some Brazilian inspired piece Elmer Bernstein composed.


Q: What's the instrumental piece of music playing in Otter's bedroom when he's with Mrs Wormer? It's like a samba. (from jlrbenz in Carlsbad, NM USA)

A: As far as I know, that bossa nova music has no title. It was one of several pieces of incidental music composed by Elmer Bernstein for the film. You can go to the album page of my ACME Animal House website to learn about the other times uncredited incidental music is heard in the film. (thanks to spreng, Garland, Texas USA)
