In case this thread is film-music-related enough for you, Duke Ellington was a guy who once scored a film called "Anatomy of a Murder." I don't think he ever did anything else, until he was featured in "American Hustle."
That was pretty much the only really good thing about that movie, the song selection. A great playlist. Ellington was an excellent choice, along with the ELO, Elton John etc.

Ellington also scored the 1961 Paul Newman film PARIS BLUES, but I'm sure his contributions to music end there.
