To claim that REAR WINDOW has no music or a score is ignorant if not preposterous. Starting with the main titles, Franz Waxman composed a great score for this film, even though it has only a few cues. In fact, one of the cues had been used already by Waxman in A Place in the Sun. Lalo Schifrin re-recorded them and it was a great influence on Leonard Bernstein for instance, as we can hear it in West Side Story.
Music is an important element in REAR WINDOW, the song Waxman composed for the unemployed composer, LISA, not only stops Ms. Lonely Hearts from killing herself, but also at the end later becomes Grace Kelly's character's theme. Funny how people limit film music to only action cues by Hans Zimmer.

Der! I should have read the entire thread before posting my Rear Window thing. Never mind.

I did read of a European film (i.e. non-British) that was something like 20 hours of exposed film (presumably with nothing on), that has only been shown once in its complete form. This would suggest that it may have been edited into a shorter version; but how would you choose which bits to keep ?.
At any rate I imagine that there was no score involved.

I think you mean:
"I spit on your corpse!"

Nope, I mean "I Spit on Your Grave", the movie where a girl in the woods is raped by three brothers (one is retarded). She exacts vengeance on them one by one. One guy get's his penis sliced off in a bathtub. It's a pretty raunchy film, but had no music score. So, it counts, eh?

The China Syndrome had no score, presumably because the filmmakers felt it would detract from the "seriousness" and "documentary realism" they were trying to portray.
Unfortunately, Michael Douglas's elbow-patch jackets and Jane Fonda's pants suits makes it impossible to take the film any more seriously than any other hopelessly dated 70s movie.

There's no background score to John Huston's THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, just opening and closing credit music by Miklos Rozsa.
